Ingredients:

  • 2 medium eggplants
  • salt
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3/4 tsp Tabasco sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Slice the eggplant into one-inch thick round cutlets and sprinkle each piece with a bit of salt. Allow to sit for at least 15 minutes, then gently rinse and pat dry.

Arrange the eggplant cutlets in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Whisk together the remaining ingredients, except salt and pepper and brush this marinate onto each side of each piece of eggplant.

Bake for 7- 8 minutes. Brush with marinade again, and turn pieces over, then bake for another 7 - 8 minutes.

Heat oven to the broil setting, and broil for 2 - 3 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper before serving.

These are delicious on their own, but you could also serve with additional hot sauce, if you like.
