VEGETARIAN


Grilled Eggplant

Ingredients

  • 1 large eggplant - in 1/2" slices
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 3 Tbs. balsamic or red wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic - finely chopped
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1 tsp. basil
  • salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 6 oz. mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
Directions

Sprinkle both sides of eggplant slices lightly with salt and place between layers of paper towels.  Let stand for 1 - 2 hours, rinse, and pat dry.

Combine the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.  Place the eggplant slices on a grill over moderate heat and baste with oil mixture.  Turn and baste frequently until lightly browned, about 8 minutes.

Top each slice with a slice of cheese and grill an additional 2 minutes, until the cheese begins to melt.

Serves 4 to 6.
