Ingredients
- 1 pound eggplant
- 1/2 pound tomatillos
- 1/2 cup olive oil, or as needed
- salt and pepper 
 
This simple combination of two contrasting flavors - the smoky richness of grilled eggplant, the
citrusy crunch of tomatillo - brings out the best in both.
 
Directions
  • Heat grill or broiler.
  • Wash eggplant and slice into rounds, about 1/2 inch thick -
    no need to peel. When grill is hot, brush eggplant slices with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and
    grill over direct heat until well browned and soft, 5 - 10 minutes per side, depending on grill

temperature. If slices cook to the point where they get somewhat crisp, that's ok - just
don't let them char. (This can be done ahead, perhaps as the grill heats up for another dish).
  • Remove husks from tomatillos and rinse off the sticky coating. Chop coarsely.
  • Put grilled
    eggplant and tomatillos into processor, pulse until they are finely chopped. (To make by
    hand, chop tomatillos and grilled eggplant finely, then use a large spoon to mash a part of
    the mixture). Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate.
