Eggplant Steaks

   For my birthday, I got a grill pan! My living situation doesn't allow me to own a grill, so it is the best thing I can get.
   This is the first recipe I could find requiring my grill pan.

Ingredients
    4 Roma tomatoes, diced
    1 cucumber, seeded and diced
    1/4 cup of parsley, chopped
    8 ounces of feta, crumbled
    2 tbs of olive oil
    Juice of one lemon
    2 medium to large eggplants
    kosher salt and pepper
    chili powder

Directions
    Heat grill pan over medium heat.
    In a small bowl, mix tomatoes, cucumber, parsley, feta, olive oil and lemon juice for a salad.
    Cut off tops of eggplants, and slice each eggplant into 3 thick steaks, trimming the skin off the outside pieces.
     Drizzle steaks with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper and chili pwoder to taste
     Grill the eggplants until tender, about 4 to 5 minutes a side.
     Once steaks are transferred off grill, top with salad.
Changes I Made!
    The steak can be easily made into a sandwich. It does reheat well, just only heat the steak, not the salad.
    I used season feta cheese to add more to the salad.


This recipe from Pioneer Women: Come and Get It.
