Grilled Smoked Eggplant With Soy and Southern Seagreens Furikake

Serves 4-6 as a side dish

Ingredients
4 small Lebanese eggplant
Soy sauce (or tamari), for drizzling
2 spring onions, finely sliced
Southern SeaGreens furikake, for sprinkling

Method
Pre-heat a barbecue grill over a high heat. Alternatively use the gas hob on the gas stove top. Place the eggplants directly over the flame. Turn regularly, about every two minutes until the skin is completely blackened all over. It will take about 10 minutes. Set eggplants aside to cool then carefully peel away the charred skin, avoiding removing any of the inside flesh.
Serve the eggplants whole, or slice across into 3cm lengths. Drizzle the soy over the top, then a scattering of spring onion followed by a generous sprinkle of the furikake.
