- Cilantro or Parsley
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Mint leaves (optional)
- Olive oil
Instructions:
- Take a fork and poke a few holes on each side into the eggplant.
- Grill the eggplant from both sides until the outer layer burns and the inside gets soft (about 20-30 minutes, eggplant will look smooched)
