Grilled Eggplant with a Pecan Honey Glaze

If you've tried our pecan vinaigrette, you know to keep it on hand in the refrigerator not only for salads, but also as a base for this pecan glaze; the addition of soy sauce makes the glaze a perfect fit for Japanese eggplant, which is frequently grown by local farmers instead of the large purple variety seen in grocery stores.

Ingredients

For the Glaze

¼ cup pecan vinaigrette (find the recipe here)
2 tbsp honey (buy New Mexico honey)
1 tbsp soy sauce (or liquid aminos)
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp salt
1 tsp smoked paprika (powder)
1 tsp adobo sauce

For the Grilled Eggplant

8 Japanese eggplant (two eggplant per person)
8 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Place the 1/4 cup of pecan vinaigrette in a bowl and mix in the remaining ingredients until well incorporated. Set aside.
Slice each eggplant in half lengthwise, place on a cutting board, and sprinkle generously with salt.
Allow the eggplant to sit for about 15 minutes; you'll see liquid being drawn from the eggplant by the salt. (This process is called purging.)
Rinse the salt from the eggplant and blot dry.
Place the eggplant in a bowl and toss with the oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Place the eggplant on a hot grill and liberally baste with the glaze. Grill the eggplant 4-5 minutes per side, adding additional glaze several times.
Serve the grilled eggplant with additional pecan glaze on the side.
