GRILLED EGGPLANT SALAD
Here is a deeply flavored salad that can be prepared entirely outdoors, keeping the heat out of the kitchen. Grill a whole fat purple globe eggplant until the skin blisters. Then scrape the soft insides into a bowl and season them with red wine vinegar, garlic, good olive oil and fresh herbs. A few capers on top add a pleasing brininess. Serve it with pita bread, a good rosé and a hunk of feta, and want for nothing more.

Steps:
- Heat grill to medium high. Prick the eggplant all over with a fork, put in on the grill and close the cover; cook, turning occasionally, until eggplant is very soft and skin is blistered, about 15 minutes.
- When cool enough, scoop out the insides of the eggplant and coarsely chop. Transfer to a bowl and toss with tomatoes, vinegar, salt, oregano and garlic. Stir in oil and parsley; season with pepper and more salt if needed. Garnish with capers if you like them. Serve with warm pita bread.

EGGPLANT SALAD
Ruth Reichl serves this in a bowl for people to fork onto crackers while having a glass of wine or a cocktail. It also works well alongside grilled meat or just over rice for a little lunch. "What I love most about cooking with eggplant," she writes in "My Kitchen Year: 136 Recipes That Saved My Life," the book in which this recipe appeared, "is their complete docility: No other vegetable is so content to abandon itself to your will."

Steps:
- Prick the eggplants all over with a fork and singe them over the burner of a gas stove, turning constantly, for about 10 minutes until the skin is black and blistered. Allow to cool.
- Carefully peel the eggplant skin. (This can be fussy, but you want to get all the skin off.) Pull the eggplant into strips and lay them in a shallow bowl.
- Mix the fish sauce with the lime juice, the sugar and a couple of tablespoons of water. Add the minced garlic and chile flakes. Pour over the eggplant and marinate in the refrigerator for a few hours. When ready to serve, garnish with a few leaves of chopped cilantro or mint.
