This previous week I made grilled eggplant with tomato sauce, basil and Feta twice and it’s a delightfully simple as well as light dish that is incredibly tasty due to grilled vegetables.

And that’s it: a fresh and utterly tasty dish. Doesn’t it look great?
Enjoy!
Not only does it look great, it makes me want to try them and I’ll have you know that my stomach doesn’t handle eggplant well. Especially if its fried so I guess this recipe is worth trying out. 😉
