  • 4 baby eggplant, cut lengthways into 5mm-thick slices sliced lengthways
  • Extra virgin olive oil, to brush
  • 250g tomato
  • 1 small garlic clove, crushed
  • 0.63 gm smoked paprika (pimenton) (see note)
  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon

  • Preheat the grill to high. Gently coat eggplant slices with olive oil and lay them on a large baking tray with cherry tomatoes. Grill for 3-4 minutes until eggplant is lightly colored and tomatoes start to soften. Set tomatoes aside. Flip eggplant slices and grill for another 2-3 minutes, then set aside.
