Summer is relentlessly leaving and a cool autumn is slowly creeping in. I would like to catch the last warm days in the fresh air and cook something delicious on the fire. A step-by-step recipe with a photo of whole baked eggplants on the grill. Video recipe.
Kebabs cooked in nature are very popular. Real barbecues are cooked on the coals, the heat from which cooks the meat. Usually, in nature, a shish kebab is prepared in 1-2 visits. Having removed the last portion of the burning coals, we forget. However, this is irrational, because it is still powerful to make a vegetable dessert on burning coals, which will ripen by the end of the meat meal. I propose to cook baked eggplant on the grill. After all, the grill turns out excellent not only meat or fish. You can cook absolutely everything on an open fire: mushrooms, vegetables, fruits. At the same time, baked products on charcoal do not lose juice and vitamins. This distinguishes the kitchen over an open fire from other heat treatment options.
You can cook "kebab" eggplant in several simple ways. They can be fried, grilled on a wire rack, bacon rolls, or whole. But, since there are usually no conditions in nature for making culinary delights, the simplest and most common way is to bake whole eggplants on the grill. This simple dish is extremely simple to prepare. For him you will need several eggplants, salt and black ground pepper. Although, if desired, you can bake eggplants in vinegar marinade, soy sauce, with garlic and other spices, depending on the taste preferences of the cook and eaters. Then the recipe will be more creative and "solid".

Step-by-step cooking of whole baked eggplants on the grill, recipe with photo:
1. Wash the eggplants and cut off the stalks.
For the recipe, take young dairy fruits, because it is not necessary to remove bitterness from them, which is very inconvenient to do in nature. If the vegetables are ripe, prepare them for baking by removing the harmful solanine, which imparts bitterness while still at home. To do this, cut off the tails and dip the eggplants in salted water, in which leave for 1 hour. The proportion of water and salt: 1 liter per 1 tablespoon. Then rinse the vegetables and pat dry with a paper towel.
2. String the vegetable lengthwise onto a skewer.
3. Place eggplants on hot corners and cook, inverting occasionally for 20 minutes. The readiness of a vegetable is determined by its softness. Pierce the eggplant flesh with a knife or fork; they should slide in easily. The blue ones usually reach readiness quickly.
Cut the whole baked eggplants on the grill into portions, season with salt and black pepper and serve. If you wish, you can sprinkle them with chopped herbs or make a warm vegetable salad if other vegetables are baked with eggplants, for example, bell peppers, zucchini, etc.
The baked eggplants look, of course, gloomy, but their taste is amazing, and the flesh is very tender.
