Miso-Garlic Broiled Eggplant
Every year I plant Japanese eggplant in my garden... my favorite way to eat it is simply grilled, then sliced with soy sauce and ground roasted sesame seeds. I was overwhelmed with eggplant last season, and had to "branch" out to other methods. This is a recipe my Japanese mom taught me. Make subsitutions at your own risk! :) I can only tell you this is great as written!!!
