1 whole eggplant, peel lengthwise, every other row (creates stripes)

DIRECTIONS:

Salt the eggplant and let it sit in a strainer for 30 minutes.  Wipe these slices off and put them into a bowl and baste both sides with the pesto sauce.   Cook these on a medium heat for about 20 to 25 minutes, turning once.

I prefer the George Forman electric grill

Meanwhile sauté tog. The onion and peppers, till soft. Salt and pepper.


I buy peppers in bulk at Costco, cut into strips
and freeze for last minute meal planning.
