Bea’s Recipes presents a really easy recipe, the Grilled Eggplants with Greek Sauce, a side dish that will amaze your palate and your guests. The Greek sauce I used in this recipe was introduced to me by Riccardo. Riccardo, like me, is passionate about cooking, but he always tends to try new dishes and new combinations to impress friends dining at his place.
This Greek sauce is used to serve grilled chicken, but I wanted to try it paired with eggplants. I’d say the combination is very tasty; the Greek sauce is fresh and delicate and pairs really well with the grilled eggplants.

Preparation of Grilled Eggplants:
If we want to prepare grilled eggplants, where do we start? So, we take the eggplants, slice them into rounds that are not too thin, arrange them on a tray, and sprinkle with salt. We take the grill, in my case, it’s the cast iron plate used directly on the kitchen stove, and start grilling our eggplants. Meanwhile, we prepare the Greek sauce. Take the jar of Greek yogurt and pour it into a bowl. Add the tablespoon of mustard and a sprinkle of parsley or, as per the ingredient list, you can opt for chives, add a pinch of paprika as well. Using a hand whisk, work until it becomes a thick and uniform colored sauce. When all the eggplants are grilled, arrange them on a tray, drizzle extra virgin olive oil over their surface and sprinkle with salt if necessary and finely chopped parsley. Serve this side dish of grilled eggplants with Greek sauce to our guests and you’ll see the result will be excellent and you won’t regret it.

The Sun, the Sea, and Eggplants 😍
it may not rhyme, but imagine the delight of this meal with these grilled eggplants and Greek sauce to enjoy under your beach umbrella?
I thought of this basic recipe for you to grill eggplants and prepare a sauce to enjoy together 😊
when the days are hot, the desire to eat hot dishes or main courses diminishes for most, so I asked myself: what would you bring for lunch at the beach?
so last night I hit the stove, prepared the grilled eggplants, the Greek sauce, and sealed everything in a nice airtight container, straight into the refrigerator 😍
whether it’s the sea or the mountains, it doesn’t matter, bring this dish with you and I’m sure you won’t regret it!
