Eggplant on a grill on coals

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to fry eggplants on coals? Prepare everything you need. Wash the eggplants and dry them with paper napkins or a kitchen towel.

2. Step 2:

   

   Prepare the marinade. In a small container, mix tomato paste, vegetable oil, honey, soy sauce and garlic powder. If necessary, add salt to taste, but remember that soy sauce itself is salty. I don't usually use salt. Instead of tomato paste, it is acceptable to use good quality ketchup for the recipe.

3. Step 3:

   

   Cut the blue ones into circles about 1.5-2 cm thick.

4. Step 4:

   

   With a silicone brush, smear each circle on both sides with marinade. Leave the eggplants to marinate, and at this time prepare the grill.

5. Step 5:

   

   Light the firewood in the grill. Wait until they burn out. When the coals remain, level them with the help of improvised means (for example, with a poker). Make a thin layer of embers. We will fry eggplants on the grill.

7. Step 6:

   

   Lubricate a clean, dry baking grate with vegetable oil using a cotton pad. Send the eggplants to the grill. Bake, turning constantly, until cooked.

8. Step 7:

   

   The blue ones are fried very quickly. The time depends on the degree of heat in the grill. It took me about 5-7 minutes for the eggplant to be fully cooked. The dish can be served in this form, but I suggest making a garlic dressing for the eggplant.

9. Step 8:

   

   In a separate container, mix vegetable oil and garlic. Garlic can be chopped finely by hand or passed through a garlic press.

10. Step 9:

    

    With a silicone brush, apply a small amount of garlic dressing to each circle. Sprinkle the eggplant with finely chopped herbs. From the greens, dill, young green onions, parsley or cilantro are well suited. You can mix several types of herbs.
