Ingredients
3 small eggplants (about 2 1/4 pounds) cut lengthwise into 3/4-inch-thick wedges
1 1/3 cups extra-virgin olive oil
3 teaspoons coarse salt
3 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup shredded fresh mint
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Preparation
Preheat grill to medium-low. (If you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 7 seconds.) Brush eggplant wedges on all sides with 2/3 cup oil, and season with 1 teaspoon salt.
Place eggplant on grill rack in a single layer. Cover grill, and cook, turning occasionally, until softened and lightly charred, about 8 minutes total.
Meanwhile, whisk together molasses, lemon juice, garlic, mint, remaining 2 teaspoons salt, the pepper, and remaining 2/3 cup oil. Add warm eggplant, and toss.
