Grilled Eggplants with Raw Extra Virgin Olive Oil

by Vitina Feo

Mediterranean / Vegan / Keto / Whole30 / Paleo Diet

Ingredients

3 Eggplants ( Medium size)
1 teaspoon of Parsley Pesto
½ cup of Papa Vince EVOO

How to make

Stem the eggplant.
Peel the Eggplant
Cut eggplant into long thick slices, halves or rounds, about 1/2 inch thick. Thick slices take direct heat of the grill well.
Salt slices more than lightly and let drain for at least an hour. This step is very important since salt removes the bitterness.
Rinse salt off of the eggplant.
Mix Papa Vince EVOO with Parsley Pesto.
Baste both sides of each slice well with the Parsley Pesto Oil mix.
Let the slices absorb the oil mix for 30 minutes.
Grill until soft.
Buon Appetito!!

Pure Italian

I have been using Papa Vince olive oil for many years. There is nothing that can compare with it. It is truly a pure olive oil. Take a taste on your tongue and enjoy the peppery flavor you’ll feel. You will not get that from any other olive oil. Make sure to try their other products. All top quality.

Best of the best !

Worth very dime. Fresh clean and a little warm pepper. I have a teaspoon first thing every morning just before breakfast and on our salads always. There’s no better tasting olive oil anywhere. Perfect!!

Good olive oil

I am new to olive oil. I started using it to cut down on butter. I don’t really know what good olive oil should taste like. But, I learned quickly that the olive oils sold at stores nearby are not good. I was told to get a certain brand, which I did not find, but I came upon Papa Vince and decided to try it. The other ones cannot compare.

Great olive oil

I particularly enjoy the lemon olive oil. It is great when used with fish.

Heaven in a bottle

Absolutely wonderful. I enjoy it daily. I would love it if you came out with another salad variety to include more italian herbs for salads as well. A little variation would be nice for us daily users. Thanks. So glad I discovered you. Anthony Lucido. San Diego, California

BEST ONE EVER

Papa Vince always puts out awesome products. Then just as I wonder if they have an idea for something new, I suddenly get a new e-mail about them having something new...this time a Chili sauce. I ordered one, then tasted just a tad bit and ended up ordering three more. All the products I have tried from them are awesome and make me want to buy, If you love coffee, I recommend both flavors of their coffee.

Wonderful product grown in a wonderful country by a wonderful family!!!

The Papa Vince products are all good but we, Joe and I , especially like the Olive oil (natural, virgin) and the balsamic glaze, which adds a delicious twist to many foods (try it, especially on ham, vegetables, and even potatoes)

I have been buying this Evo for several years. I love it. The pepper infused olive oil is especially good when is mixed with a little bit of the balsamic vinegar and regular vinegar. It is definitely a hit for salads and more!!! I add it to a chimichurri sauce that I make for steak and chicken! DELICIOUS!!!
I bought several small bottles as presents. Last month, I had to buy a big bottle for a friend because she loves it and asked me if she could find a bigger size bottle of this oil. Thank you for such excellent product and service!!!!
