Asian-flavored eggplant

Cooking time: 8-10 minutes

2 large eggplant, peeled and sliced into 1/2 inch rounds

2 Tb olive oil

For the sauce:

1 tsp grated ginger

3 cloves minced garlic

4 green onions, sliced thin

2 Tb soy sauce

1 Tb hoisin sauce

2 tsp sugar juice of one lime 2 Tb sesame oil

Heat the left griddle to high, with the lid off. Heat 1 Tb olive oil and cook half the eggplant slices, until soft and browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove to a cutting board and cook remaining slices in the remaining oil. In a large bowl, com- bine all other ingredients, whisking well to combine. Chop the cooked eggplant roughly and add to the bowl, tossing to combine. Check seasoning and serve hot, warm, or cold. This is excellent served with plain rice.

1 Tb sugar

1 tsp salt

1 tsp dried oregano

Serve with warmed tortillas, salsa, gua- camole, or other Tex-Mex-style accompaniments.
