Grilled Eggplant Spread Recipe

  • 1 eggplant
  • Nonstick olive oil spray
  • 2 cups chopped tomatoes
  • 1 cup chopped red peppers
  • 2 tablespoons chopped black olives
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  1. Coat a grill rack with nonstick spray. Place the rack over medium-hot coals.
  2. Cut the eggplant lengthwise into 1/8 inch (3 mm) slices. Mist each slice on both sides with the olive oil spray, and grill the slices until tender and browned, 5 to 6 minutes on each side.
  3. Finely chop the eggplant and place it in a large bowl. Stir in the tomatoes, peppers, olives, basil, tomato paste, vinegar, and garlic. Cover the bowl with wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
