Directions:Arrange the eggplant slices around the sides of a colander and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the salt. Let sit 20 minutes to extract some of the moisture. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Combine the tomatoes, olives, currants, dill, 1 T of the olive oil, remaining 1/2 t salt, pepper, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Let sit at least 20 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Combine the remaining 1/4 c olive oil with garlic in a small bowl. Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with the olive oil mixture. Place on the grill and cook uncovered until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook uncovered 3 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish. Top with tomato salsa and goat cheese. |
