Makes 2 servings.

I find this quick and easy recipe is a nice addition to my eggplant dishes. I have eaten it as a first course and as an accompaniment to meat or poultry.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 baby eggplants

COATING INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus ½ teaspoon for greasing the foil

  • 1½ tablespoons Tahini

  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt

  • 1 teaspoon light brown sugar

  • Freshly ground black pepper

  • Chives for garnish, snipped with scissors

PREPARATION:

  1. Preheat the broiler.

  2. Trim the eggplants, peel deeply, cut in half and cut deep slits into the flesh.

  3. Combine the COATING ingredients.

  4. Line a broiler pan with foil, grease the foil and place the eggplant on it.

  5. Spoon the coating over the eggplants.

  6. Broil not too close to the heat source for about 12 minutes. The eggplant should be soft.
