Here\u2019s a vegetarian grilled eggplant, tomato, halloumi and bulgur recipe that even meat lovers will go crazy for!<\/h2>\n

Anyone who has had grilled halloumi together with eggplant and tomatoes will know what I am talking about. It\u2019s an awesome tasting combination \u2014 one of my favorites for summer grilling.<\/p>\n

Grilling all year round<\/h2>\n

When the company ELAG<\/a> asked me if I would be interested in testing out one of their tabletop grills I jumped at the chance. How great is it, in the midst of winter, to be able to bring some of those reminiscent summer feelings back alive?<\/p>\n

And just like that…happy times, happy times!<\/p>\n

Grilling skills? Who needs them? Really, truly, actually…with a traditional BBQ you need a second person helping you. Otherwise, you are running in and out the door, to the kitchen and back again, over and over again. With this baby, it’s tabletop, it’s anywhere you want it to be. No lonely grilling moments required. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

German-made quality<\/h2>\n

As a product designed and produced in Germany (amazingly\u2014not China!), the LeMax grill<\/a> undoubtably upholds to the reputation of German engineering. Think of it as the BMW of electric grills. Without the hefty price tag of course! The cool thing about it is that rather than mimicking a BBQ as we know it, it is like a big square heating element. Imagine being able cook directly on your ceramic or induction stove, without the need for a skillet. You just cook directly on the surface, and because there are no crooks and crannies, there is no risk of any fluids seeping into them. No messy clean up. No messy dripping to think about.<\/p>\n

Another cool thing is, is that the surface is non-porous, meaning it doesn\u2019t absorb a thing. Why is that important? It means you don\u2019t need a lot of fat to cook with — H E A L T H Y ! And since I am on a roll here, another thing I truly loved was that you can cut into whatever you are cooking directly<\/em> on the surface (!!), so unless, of course, you are using diamonds, it won\u2019t scratch. Do you know how many pans I have ruined by cutting a little too deep (for the 100th time, jeez when will I learn?)? Yeah, so I was pretty blown away by this product. Pancake Sunday\u2019s will never be the same \u2014 and that\u2019s a good thing!<\/p>\n

So back to my excitement of reliving summer\u2026well, it all starts with halloumi, saganaki\u2019s star. Think of it as the hardest feta you\u2019ve ever encountered. Dense it is. But grill or fry it and it gets a nice golden crust on the exterior and becomes tender on the inside. All the while holding it\u2019s shape. It\u2019s fantastic for grilling. We can thank the folks in Cyprus for it. Together, eggplant, tomato, halloumi and bulgur with lots of sunshiny lemon, fresh parsley and toasted pine nuts, really work their magic. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
