Ingredients:
1 aubergine per person
2 cloves of garlic
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
100ml Greek extra virgin olive oil
Preparation:
Wash the aubergines and cut into 1cm thick coins. Crush the garlic and add it to the olive oil along with the salt, mix it thoroughly with a brush and then brush it onto both sides of each coin. Place the coins on a hot grill and turn them over when golden brown. They are ready when they are soft on the inside. Dribble a little raw olive oil onto the stack and salt some more if necessary.
Variations: Although perfect as is, you may also grill some sliced onions at the same time. Great combination.
Some tips:
Serve while still warm.
Add thin slices of Naxos graviera cheese just before serving.
Alternatively, add a bit of tzatziki on some aubergine slices. It goes well with ouzo.
