Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium eggplant, about 1 pound, cut crosswise into 8 slices, each about 3/4 inch thick
Coarse salt
2 small shallots, sliced crosswise, 1/4-inch thick
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons sherry-wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
2 tablespoons golden raisins
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed
4 Gaeta olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup plus 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Vegetable oil, for grill

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the eggplant slices with salt, place in a colander set over a bowl, and let stand for 30 minutes. Rinse eggplant and pat dry.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat combine shallots, garlic, sugar, vinegar, red-pepper flakes, and 3 tablespoons water. Bring to a boil, cook 1 minute, and remove from heat. Stir in raisins, capers, olives, and 1/4 cup of olive oil; cool to room temperature.
  • Heat grill to high and brush grates with vegetable oil. Brush eggplant with remaining 4 teaspoons olive oil. Cook eggplant until charred and tender, turning over halfway through, about 10 minutes.
  • Arrange eggplant on platter and spoon shallot mixture over top. Cool to room temperature and serve.
