Preparation

Step 1

Sprinkle eggplant with salt and place in a colander for 15 minutes to drain bitter juices. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.

Brush slices with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Grill or broil 3 minutes per side, until very lightly charred. Arrange slices in a circular pattern on a platter.

Combine remaining 1/4 cup oil, vinegar, sugar substitute, garlic, parsley, oregano, black, and red pepper and a pinch of salt. Drizzle over eggplant slices.

With a vegetable peeler, shave slices of pecorino cheese over eggplant.
