Instructions
- 1.Cut off and discard the stem end of the aubergine (eggplant) then cut it into ¾-inch thick diagonal, across or lengthwise slices. Whether to keep or not the aubergine skin is up to your taste (and your sense of aesthetic!).
- 2.Put the slices in a colander and sprinkle with salt and let it sit for 20 minutes, then wipe off all the salt and water that has drained out.
- 3.Meanwhile, heat a roasting pan to medium-high heat. Drain the aubergine and pat it dry with paper towels and grill until the slices turn brown on both sides, carefully turning them each 2-3 minutes. When done let it rest and cool off for a while.
- 4.Then lay the slices on a large plate or tray and, layer after layer, season with extra virgin olive oil, fine grained sea salt, fresh parsley leaves and some red hot chili peppers.
