Grilled Eggplant Salad

4 eggplants (medium size)

2 dl /.75C balsamic vinegar

1 fresh chili (optional if you don't like it hot)

1 garlic clove

Parmesan slices (or mozzarella)

fresh basil

Cut the eggplant into slices and sprinkle them with salt (so they lose some water), set aside for 1h.

Pre-heat the oven (220C/450F - grill position).

Rinse the eggplant to remove the salt and dry them well using a towel. Spray or drizzle with olive oil and grill until golden brown.Turn the slices and do the same on the other side. Let cool.

In a pan, heat the vinegar with the slices garlic clove and chilies and cook until you get a syrup consistence (about 10 minutes). Let cool.

Place the eggplant on a plate, sprinkle with the vinegar syrup, basil and Parmesan cheese (or mozzarella).
