meatless grillers*!
oh my god way back in the fall p and i bought a charcoal grill cheap off ebay and yesterday we finally broke it in and oh how wonderful! just look at those eggplants!
(never mind the one in the coals.) what a world of new culinary delights has now opened before us! i have to say, it's been perfect spring weather here of late, and the thought of enjoying it outside on the balconies with some beer and the grill over the next three months sounds really good.*referring to my high school friends' band, not the morningstar farms product.

Hey if you like grilled eggplants - you might like grilled eggplant dips/spreads too (you probably already make them!)
Lightly oil longitudinally halved eggplants and grill until the flesh is completely mushy - scoop out and season.
Here's a Bobby Flay recipe I saw recently: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_26604,00.html
My personal favorite is of course an Indian 'Bhartaa' with spring/summer veggies - tossing the eggplant mush briefly in a skillet with finely chopped scallions, minced ginger and garlic, petite peas, tomatoes, seasoned with salt, paprika and a little garam masala. Yum! Would make a good topping for grilled PIzza too :)
You've got it, Indu - I totally love baba ghanoush! I miss getting all sorts of varieties of eggplants from the farmers' market in Chicago. Baba ghanoush was practically a late summer staple for us.
I will definitely have to make Bhartaa! Thanks for the suggestion!!
