when a charcoal fire is going, as one of many dishes in a mixed grill."

Start your outdoor grill Cut the eggplants into lengthwise slices about 1/4

olive oil with the oregano and chopped mint leaves.

When the fire is ready, take as many slices as will fit on your grill,
brush them on one side only with the flavored oil, and put them on to brown
