Grilled Vegetables
Juicy Marinated Grilled Eggplant
Eggplant grills beautifully and the same can be said for many easy grilled vegetables recipes. Grilled eggplant is easy to make and it is best grilled in long strips with olive oil to keep it juicy. Eggplant only takes a few minutes to cook because it contains quite a lot of water. The best way to store marinated eggplant is in a sterilized jar.
To sterilize a jar for your marinated eggplant, wash the jar, lid in hot, soapy water, and rinse well. Put the jar and lid in a big pan, cover with water and boil for ten minutes, and then put them on a baking paper lined tray in the oven at 300 degrees F until dry. Use the jars straight from the oven.
