Eggplant and Tomato Packets

By: DART1121

"Tired of fried eggplant? Eggplant Parmesan too much of a hassle? I came up with this recipe to deal with the plethora of tomatoes and eggplants the garden gives up every summer. I've also added a slice of sweet onion to the packets at times and that's good too. Although I would suggest you try it this way first so you can see just how creamy and good an eggplant really tastes, feel free to add any other herbs you think might be good with this. Oh! by the way, don't eat the skin - that's where the bitter taste is."

Ingredients

1 eggplant, peeled and halved lengthwise
1 tomato, halved
1 pinch garlic salt
ground black pepper to taste
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 sheets heavy duty aluminum foil

Directions

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.

Grill the packets until the eggplant and tomato are very tender, about 15 minutes.

Footnotes

Cook's Note
If your eggplant is small enough you don't have to peel it. Do peel the large ones as the peel tends to make the meat bitter. There's no need to salt and drain the eggplant for this recipe.
