Ingredients

  • 4 small to medium eggplants halved lengthwise
  • 6 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil divided
  • 1 1 1/2 piece ginger peeled, finely grated
  • 1/4 cup white miso
  • 3 tbsp tamari soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 cucumbers sliced into rounds
  • 4 scallions sliced crosswise into 2
  • 2 1/2 cups mixed cooked grains (such as barley, faro, quinoa)
  • 1 cup basil leaves
  • a pinch of Sel Magique Classic, Spicy or Salt & Pepper Blend

Instructions

  • Place a rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 400°. Score cut sides of eggplants with a sharp knife. Rub with 2 Tbsp. oil and season with Sel Magique. Roast, skin side down, on a large rimmed baking sheet until tender but not browned, 22–28 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk ginger, miso, tamari, vinegar, sugar, and remaining 4 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl until smooth. Set 3 Tbsp. glaze aside in another medium bowl.
  • Increase oven temperature to 450°. Spoon remaining glaze over cut sides of eggplants. Roast until glaze is browned and bubbling, 12–15 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • While the eggplants are cooling, whisk lime juice into reserved glaze. Add cucumbers, scallions, grains, and basil and toss to coat.
  • Divide eggplants among plates; spoon grain salad over. Add a pinch of your favorite Sel Magique salt blend.
