Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (1 pound) eggplants, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
7 tablespoons extra virgin-olive oil, divided
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1 shallot, halved
2 (10 ounce) baskets cherry tomatoes
skewers
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 cloves garlic, halved
½ teaspoon crushed red chili flakes
1 pound fresh mozzarella, cut into thin slices
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
6 sprigs fresh basil

Steps:

  • Place eggplant in a large bowl. Add 4 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine and let marinade for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Thread shallot and tomatoes onto skewers and brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil over them. Grill for 4 minutes. Flip and grill 4 minutes more.
  • Transfer grilled tomatoes and shallot to a blender. Add vinegar, garlic, crushed chili flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Pulse until blended but still chunky. Set aside.
  • Grill eggplant slices for 5 minutes. Flip, and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt over them. Top each with a slice of mozzarella and grill until cheese begins to melt, about 2 minutes.
  • Spoon tomato mixture on a serving platter. Top with eggplant. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top and garnish with fresh basil.

I've made eggplant parmesan many times before, but this grilled version is by far the best. The smoky flavor from the grill really takes it to the next level.
