Grilled Little Eggplants

Little eggplants are very similar to normal eggplants...but little. Anyways, they are really awesome on the grill. Place them directly over the coals. The idea here is to get the skin nice and charred. This is a very similar process to making roasted red peppers.
Once the skin of the eggplants are nice and charred, take them off of the grill. At this point you'll need to peel them. Many people suggest putting them into a paper bag to get them to sweat a bit. As for me, I dont have any paper bags hanging around so I just toss 'em into a bowl of cold water. Works for me.

I like to server them with brushed with a little bit of butter with the stem still on.

I find the smaller eggplants like this have a sweeter flavor. Enjoyed your post!
