Barbecue Sauce

  • 2 large eggplants
  • 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons of Oliehoorn barbecue sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup
  • 2 teaspoons chili flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 spring onion in thin rings
  • 2 tablespoons of crispy onions
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley and lime juice as garnish

Instructions(11)

  • 1

    Cut the eggplants lengthwise into slices ±1.5 cm thick.

  • 2

    Sprinkle with salt and let it stand for 15 minutes to extract the moisture. Then pat it dry.

  • 3

    Brush both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with some pepper.

  • 4

    Heat the BBQ over medium-high heat.

  • 5

    Grill the eggplant slices for 4-6 minutes per side until they are tender and have the nice grill marks. Caution: too high heat will burn the outside before the inside is done, prefer to cook more gently.

  • 6

    Meanwhile, mix the barbecue sauce with honey and paprika.

  • 7

    During the last minute, spread the eggplants on both sides with the glaze.

  • 8

    Leave this for a very short time so that the sauce caramelizes but does not burn.

  • 9

    Place the grilled eggplant on a platter.

  • 10

    Top the eggplant with sesame seeds, spring onion, fried onions, fresh herbs.

  • 11

    Drizzle lightly with lime juice.
