WHOLE GRILLED EGGPLANT WITH RICE PILAF
Eggplants have a dark side-and it's excellent. Roast them whole until the skin is charred, and the flesh goes soft and creamy. To serve, split the eggplants and top with pomegranate molasses and lemony tahini sauce, then spoon the insides onto herby, pistachio-scented pilaf and dust lightly with fragrant za'atar.

Steps:
- For Eggplant and Rice Pilaf: Prepare grill for direct- and indirect-heat cooking. Rub eggplants with oil to lightly coat. Grill over direct heat, turning a few times, until charred all over, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to indirect heat and continue cooking, maintaining a temperature of 400°F, until collapsed and very soft, 18 to 22 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add pasta and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add rice and onion; cook, stirring frequently, until they start to turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes more. Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and broth. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 15 to 18 minutes. Let stand, covered, 10 minutes. Uncover; fluff with a fork.
- For Tahini Sauce: While rice is cooking, sprinkle garlic with a pinch of salt; mash into a paste with the side of a knife. Transfer to a bowl; add tahini, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup water. Whisk until smooth; season with salt. Stir in more water if needed, a little at a time, until mixture is thin enough to drizzle. (Sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 3 days; bring to room temperature before serving.)
- Stir together pomegranate molasses and cinnamon. Slash open eggplants; drizzle with molasses mixture and a few tablespoons tahini sauce. Top pilaf with pistachios, parsley, and za'atar. Scoop flesh from eggplants, spoon over pilaf, and serve with more tahini sauce.

GRILLED WHOLE EGGPLANT WITH HARISSA VINAIGRETTE
Nestle a whole eggplant in the dying embers of a charcoal grill (or char it on the grates of your grill) and it'll soften into a deliciously smoky, spoonable mush. An easy harissa vinaigrette poured over the top adds sweet, spicy flavor to this summertime appetizer.

Steps:
- Prepare a charcoal fire in a grill. Let coals cool to medium heat (coals should be covered with ash and glowing red with no black remaining).
- Grill eggplant directly on coals, turning occasionally, until skin is blackened and flesh has collapsed, 15-20 minutes. (Alternatively, grill on the grate of a gas or charcoal grill over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, 20-25 minutes.) Transfer to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and let cool slightly.
- Carefully remove skin from eggplant, leaving stem intact. Season on all sides with 1/2 tsp. salt. Let sit on rack until excess water is drained, 20-30 minutes.
- Whisk oil, lemon juice, harissa, honey, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt in a small bowl to combine.
- Using a paring knife, make several slits down length of eggplant on each side. Transfer to a plate and pour dressing over. Top with parsley and serve with bread alongside.
- Do Ahead: Eggplant (without parsley) can be dressed 8 hours ahead. Let sit at room temperature up to 4 hours. Chill, if waiting longer, and let sit at room temperature 1 hour before serving.

Steps:
- Whisk together the soy sauce, lemon juice, and olive oil in a bowl to make the dressing; set aside. Score the stem end of each eggplant, making a circular cut in the skin (this will make the eggplant easier to peel). Poke a few holes into the eggplants with a skewer or fork to allow steam to escape as they grill.
- Preheat a grill to medium. Grill for about 8 minutes, turning the eggplants a quarter turn every 2 minutes. Try to grill the eggplant all around. Test the eggplants for doneness by pressing against their sides with a pair of tongs. If the eggplants give easily, they're ready. Transfer the eggplants to a plate.
- As soon as the eggplants are cool enough to handle, carefully peel off the skin (the skin comes off more easily if the eggplant is warm; don't let it cool completely). Once you've removed the skin, remove the stems, and slice each eggplant into 4 pieces, cutting on an angle. Transfer the eggplant slices to a platter. Drizzle with dressing, sprinkle with the bonito, and serve.
