Prepare and Grill Aubergines
30 min
Slice the aubergines into thick rounds and generously brush each side with olive oil. Season them with salt and pepper to enhance their flavor. Preheat your griddle pan or barbecue over medium-high heat until it's hot; you can test the heat by sprinkling a few drops of water on the surface - if they sizzle, it's ready. Grill the aubergine slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side, watching for a beautiful golden brown color and a tender texture before removing them from the heat.
