Grilled-Eggplant Parmesan image

Our light, summery take on classic eggplant parmesan skips the breading and relies on the grill to do all the cooking. Flame-kissed tomatoes and shallots are turned into a quick sauce, then spooned over charred eggplant and gooey mozzarella for a memorable dinner.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 medium tomatoes (1 1/2 pounds total), halved
1 shallot, halved lengthwise
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 large eggplants (2 pounds total), cut lengthwise into 1-inch planks
1 pound fresh salted mozzarella, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
1 loaf rustic bread, such as ciabatta, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium-high. Brush cut sides of tomatoes and shallot with 1 tablespoon oil. Grill, cut-side down, until charred in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until vegetables soften slightly, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, roughly chop and transfer to a bowl; season with salt and pepper.
  • Brush both sides of eggplants with remaining 3 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning once, until lightly charred in places and almost tender, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  • Top eggplants with mozzarella. Return to grill and cook, covered, until cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Top evenly with tomato mixture, sprinkle with basil, drizzle with oil, and serve with torn rustic bread.

This recipe was a disaster! The eggplant was burnt and the sauce was watery. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The eggplant was a bit tough and the sauce was bland. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste, but the flavors were good. I think I would try it again with less oil.
