Ingredients

  • 1 Large Globe Eggplant
  • 1 tbsp Harissa
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Agave Nectar Use honey for a non-vegan version
  • 1 Garlic clove, finely minced
  • 1 tsp Ground Cumin
  • To taste Salt Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Mint, finely chopped

Instructions

  • Chop the eggplant into ¼" slices either lengthwise or crosswise. I cut lengthwise but it's up to you. Score the flesh side with a sharp knife.
  • In a small bowl, combine, harissa, olive oil, agave, garlic, cumin and salt & pepper.
  • Brush the harissa mixture on the eggplant.
  • Preheat the grill or the grill pan (if cooking indoors).
  • Lightly grease the grill with cooking spray; place the eggplants on the hot grill and cook covered for about 2 minutes. Change the angle of the slices to get nice grill marks and cook for another minute. Gently flip and cook on the other side for another 2~4 minutes or until the eggplant is cooked through and tender.
  • Remove from the grill and sprinkle with the chopped mint. Serve over rice or quinoa or any other grain.
