Here ya go, this is really easy and SO good!!BROILED RED PEPPER AND EGGPLANT
ANTIPASTA
1 round sm. firm purple eggplant or 4 to 5 Japanese eggplants
1 lg. red bell pepper (in season mid-spring to late fall)
1/2 tsp. granulated garlic
2 tbsp. minced sweet basil
With sharp knife, cut eggplant into very thin sheets. Cut into 2 inch strips lengthwise, if using round eggplant. Seed and cut red pepper into quarters. Prepare baking sheet by lightly spraying with Pam (or use non-stick cookware). Place eggplant and peppers close together on baking sheet and sprinkle with spices. Place in broiler fairly close to flame. Broil until browned and tender. Eggplant will become moist as broiled. This also is good cooked on a barbecue grill. Serves 4 to 5 as side dish or appetizer.

Cook meat to which chopped onion and salt and pepper and garlic salt is added. Drain and put aside. Peel eggplant and slice thin. Barely cover bottom of 9 x 13 inch pan with sauce. Add layer of eggplant, cheese, and meat (it is best to add all meat in this layer); repeat. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

About 16 to 20 ten-inch bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 1 hour
Teriyaki Sauce:
6 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup rice wine or sake
2 tablespoons sugar
1-1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
* Trim the stem ends off the eggplants, halve or quarter lengthwise, depending on thickness, and slice into 2-inch chunks. Thread 2 eggplant pieces and 3 scallion pieces alternately onto each skewer, starting and ending with scallions. Arrange the skewered vegetables on a cookie sheet and brush with the sesame oil.
* Prepare a medium-low fire for grilling, and place the grill 3 to 4 inches from the heat. Arrange the skewered eggplants and scallions on the grill and cook, turning frequently, until well browned. Arrange on a serving platter.
* Meanwhile, combine the Teriyaki Sauce ingredients in a saucepan and heat until boiling. Stir to dissolve the sugar and transfer to a serving bowl.

2 pounds eggplant, rinsed, trimmed, and cut lengthwise into ½-inch-thick slices
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sesame oil
