Deepest Happiness

Broiled Eggplant
1 medium eggplant
salt
12 ounces feta or parmesan cheese
1/2 cup olive oil
6 cloves peeled, finely diced garlic
2 TBSP fresh herbs ( I use basil or thyme)
freshly ground black pepper

     Trim and peel the eggplant.  Cut into 3/4 inch slices.  Lay the slices on a sheet pan and sprinkle with the salt.  Allow to sit for one hour.

     While the eggplant is sitting, crumble the feta cheese or shred the parmesan.  Preheat the boiler 20 minutes prior to serving.   Whisk together the olive oil, garlic and herbs.

     Pat the eggplant dry and then brush the eggplant with the garlic-herb marinade.  Season with pepper and broil for 5 minutes on each side.  Place the eggplant on a platter and sprinkle with cheese.   Spoon some of the reserve marinade over the cheese and serve.  This is so easy and two out of three kids loved it!


   

     "Sin is unwillingness to trust that what God wants is our deepest happiness."
                                                                         - St. Ignatius of Loyola

    "God gives all men life and breath and everything else.....
      God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him,
      though he is not far from each one of us."
                                                                          - Acts 17:25-27
