Mediterranean Context
Eggplant is a Mediterranean anchor vegetable.
Its porous structure absorbs smoke and olive oil, making it ideal for grilling. Once grilled, eggplant becomes soft, aromatic, and deeply satisfying without heaviness.
In Mediterranean kitchens, grilled eggplant is rarely overworked. It is allowed to speak through texture.
The Character of Grilled Eggplant
Soft, Fibrous Interior
Grilling breaks down fibers while maintaining structure.
Natural Smoky Depth
Direct heat adds aroma without bitterness.
Traditional Preparation Approach
High-Heat Grilling
Eggplants are grilled to develop char marks and aroma.
Careful Handling
Slices are handled gently to maintain integrity.
Preserved in Olive Oil
Olive oil stabilizes texture and rounds the smoky notes.
