In this vegetable side dish, the italian sauce agrodolce translates to sour ("Agro") and sweet ("Dolce"). Pro tip: it's as delicious on grilled summer vegetables as it is on bitter greens and roasted winter squash. Here, grilled eggplant acts like a sponge, soaking in that addictive sweet-sour sauce as it rests. No baby eggplant? No problem. Cut large eggplant into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
