Grilling & Peeling Eggplant


Jill says:

An easier way to grill the eggplant, ala Alton Brown:

Coat the eggplant, rather than the grill rack, with cooking spray. Place on grill rack for 20-30 min, turning occasionally, or until skin is blistered and starts to crack slightly. When done, roll the eggplant up in plastic wrap, twisting the ends of the plastic. Let cool 20 minutes. Cut--plastic and all--off about 2 inches of the stem end with kitchen scissors. Squeeze eggplant meat out of its skin like a tube of toothpaste. It will slide right out of its skin.
