Eggplant

• Salt
• 2 scallions, green parts only, thinly sliced
• 1/2 Red bell pepper, finely diced
• 1 tbsp. sesame seeds

Directions for Eggplants

Peel eggplants and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Salt lightly and place in a colander for 30 minutes, then rinse and drain.

Prepare grill. Brush the eggplant slices generously on both sides with marinade. Grill slices until nicely browned and tender.
