Using the fire of the char-grill to roast a whole, unpeeled eggplant is a great way to cook this vegetable. After cooling, the supremely tender flesh inside a whole grilled eggplant is perfect for scooping out of the skin. With tangy sauce made with fresh kumquat juice, it’s a great appetizer for a hot day!
