Grilled Eggplant

Ingredients
· 1 large eggplant
· Salt
· 3 tablespoons olive oil
· 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar ( I used almost 3 tlbs)
· 2 cloves garlic, very finely minced ( I used 1 large clove)
· 1 pinch each thyme, basil, dill, and oregano
· freshly grated black pepper

Preparation
Heat grill.
Slice eggplant about 1/4-inch thick. Put slices of eggplant on paper towel and cover with salt to draw out the bitterness. You will see the brown color coming out of the eggplant.

Let it sit for a half hour or so and prepare the dressing.

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, herbs, and pepper.
Wash all the salt off the slices.

In bowl cover both sides of the eggplant slices with the oil and vinegar mixture.
Place eggplant on the hot preheated grill. Grill about 10 minutes on each side.
