many dishes in a mixed grill." Start your outdoor grill Cut the
eggplants into lengthwise slices about 1/4 inch thick.(Throw away
the outermost, curved slice, which is mostly skin. Salt eggplant and
let stand. While the eggplants are standing, mix the olive oil with
the oregano and chopped mint leaves. When the fire is ready, take as
many slices as will fit on your grill, brush them on one side only
with the flavored oil, and put them on to brown oiled-side down.

done on both sides, remove to a serving platter, brushing with just
a bit more oil, and keep warm until all the slices are cooked. Serve
