Grilled Eggplants with Pistou
This dish features smoky, tender grilled eggplants paired with a vibrant pistou sauce. The eggplants are sliced and grilled until they have a rich, charred flavor and a creamy interior. Pistou, a French sauce similar to pesto, is made from fresh basil, garlic, olive oil, and sometimes tomatoes and cheese. The herbaceous and garlicky pistou complements the smoky eggplants perfectly, adding a burst of freshness and flavor. This simple yet elegant dish can be served as a side or a main course, providing a healthy, flavorful option that's rich in vegetables and aromatic herbs.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggplants
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 bunch mint
- 1 bunch basil

- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 392°F (th.6-7). Wash the eggplants and cut them into slices about 2 cm thick.
- Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with olive oil using a pastry brush. Grill them on an electric grill. Season with salt and pepper, then place the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25 minutes until tender.
