GRILLED EGGPLANT WITH MOZZARELLA, TOMATOES, AND BASIL



Grilled Eggplant with Mozzarella, Tomatoes, and Basil image

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large Italian eggplants
Good-quality olive oil
1/2 pound fresh whole-milk mozzarella
3 large ripe tomatoes, red or yellow or a combination of both
1 bunch fresh basil
Balsamic vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare a barbecue (or preheat a broiler). Cut the eggplants into slices about 1/2-inch thick. Spread on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil on both sides. Set aside.
  • Cut mozzarella in half crosswise, then slice each half about 1/4-inch thick to create half-moon shaped pieces. Slice tomatoes in the same manner. Arrange tomatoes and mozzarella decoratively around the edge of a large serving platter.
  • Place eggplant slices on barbecue (or place on baking sheet in broiler) and cook, turning once, until nicely charred on each side; the eggplant should almost caramelize. Arrange the cooked eggplant down the center of the serving platter, surrounded by the tomatoes and mozzarella. Pluck about 12 large leaves from the basil bunch, stack them, roll them up like a cigar, then slice crosswise into thin shreds (?chiffonade?). Scatter the basil shreds over the vegetables and cheese, then drizzle balsamic vinegar and more olive oil over all. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste, and let stand until eggplant is at room temperature.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ripe plum tomatoes, cut in half lengthwise
5 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small red onion, cut in half and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil plus fresh leaves, for garnish

6 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
16 ounces fresh sheep's milk ricotta
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Heat your grill to high.
  • Place the tomatoes in a bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the oil and season with salt and pepper. Place tomatoes on the grill and grill until charred on all sides, and just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove from the grill and coarsely chop.
  • Put the chopped tomatoes in a bowl, add the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil, onion, vinegar and basil and gently mix until combined. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. Can be made 4 hours in advance and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.

  • Place the grilled eggplant on a large platter and top each slice with a heaping tablespoon of the ricotta and a heaping tablespoon of the tomato relish.
