Pesto Grilled Eggplant!

I'm so late posting my Meatless on Monday...Yes, I know it's already Tuesday.   Every day for the last 10 days has been meatless in our house but tomorrow we get to add chicken!

Tonight I used my trusty Grilled Eggplant recipe and tweaked it so it's detox-friendly (no dairy).  Did you miss my detox-friendly Pesto?

Grilled Eggplant with Pesto 

Note:  I cook this recipe on the stove, not on an actual grill.
Ingredients:
Eggplant
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper

They may not look very pretty but they are DELICIOUS!
Directions:
Slice the top and bottom off the eggplant and throw into the compost.  Slice eggplant into 1/4 inch rounds and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Drizzle olive oil in your skillet and heat on high.  Place eggplant rounds spiced side down in olive oil and gook for 3 minutes.  Turn down the stove, flip eggplant over and cook for an additional 3 minutes.  Eggplant will soak up the oil so add more if you prefer.

Top eggplant with a generous dollop of Pesto and serve.

1 Eggplant will serve 2-3 people.
