This is an easy to make summer grilling recipe and a great way to showcase the bounty of your garden. Great as a vegetarian main dish or summer side dish for a crowd. I do not peel the eggplant before I cook it on the grill but the outer peeling should be removed before it is served.

How To Make fire grilled eggplant with sweet tomato gravy

1
Slice eggplants lengthwise into 1/2-inch thick slices and discard outer slices. Each eggplant should yield about 4 to 5 slices.

2
Combine olive oil, lime juice, red pepper flakes and jalapeño peppers in a small bowl. Pour marinade over eggplant slices and refrigerate 20 minutes.
3
While eggplant marinates, prepare tomato gravy. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, peppers and garlic; sauté until almost tender. Add paprika and salt. Add diced tomatoes; cook until tomatoes start to break down. Add broth if necessary to keep sauce from sticking. Add green chilies including juice and honey. Cook 2 to 3 minutes.
4
Heat a grill. Remove eggplant from marinade. Discard marinade. Place eggplant on hot grill until browned. Flip and grill other side. Move eggplant to outer side of grill and close lid. Cook 2 to 3 minutes longer. Remove from grill and place on large platter. Sprinkle with coarse salt. Spoon tomato gravy over eggplant and garnish with additional tomatoes, if desired.
