"Irwins’Grilled Eggplant"

I purchased a cast iron grill, it is nothing more than a fry pan
with ridges. It is also a lot less expensive than the fancy ones.

Ingredients
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Method
I coat the eggplant slices with the mixture, add salt and pepper.
Place on grill and repeat the coating on the other side. Use as a side
dish or sandwich with a green and a slice of tomato.
You can use the same mixture on a thick slice of bermuda onion and
a tomato. I placed these on a bed of spinach drizzled with the same mixture.
I thought this was a great salad.

"Irwins’ Eggplant Appitizer"

Ingredients and Method
Prick an eggplant with a fork or knife all over.
Place in broiler, every now and then turn the eggplant.
When done, use your imagination, remove and place a weight on the eggplant.
I use a bowl filled with water and tilt the pan on a slight angle.
This allows the liquid to drain.
When cool, peel the eggplant.
Add chopped scallion, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, sun dried tomatoes,
pimentos; chop altogether and adjust taste.
Obviously you can add or delete any item. It is an interesting use of eggplant.
