Grilled eggplant, also known as aubergine, has a rich history dating back to ancient times in the Mediterranean region. This versatile vegetable has been a staple in various cuisines, from Italian to Middle Eastern. Chefs like Yotam Ottolenghi have popularized its use in modern cooking, showcasing its smoky flavor and meaty texture. In Greece, it's often prepared as melitzanosalata, a delicious eggplant dip. The key to a perfect grilled eggplant lies in the seasoning and grilling technique. The best versions of this dish can be found in traditional Greek tavernas or Italian trattorias, where it's often served with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
