Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplant

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Slice the Japanese eggplants in half lengthwise. Brush the cut sides with toasted sesame oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Grill the Eggplant

    Place the eggplant halves on the grill, cut side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and have nice grill marks. Flip them and grill for an additional 3-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Chermoula Sauce

    In a bowl, combine chopped parsley, cilantro, garlic, golden raisins, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the chermoula sauce.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the eggplants are grilled, remove them from the grill and place them on a serving platter. Drizzle the chermoula sauce over the eggplants. Sprinkle the Castelvetrano olives and pine nuts on top.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Finish with a drizzle of extra toasted sesame oil, and serve warm. Enjoy your Chermoula Eggplant!
