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.
EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) , PROSCIUTTO, AND MOZZARELLA
No bread in this dish, so it's a good meal for someone watching carbs. This is from The Weber recipe collection. Because you are grilling, the cook time is not completely "passive time". Makes 8 appetizers or 4 lunches.

Steps:
- Grill the bell peppers over Direct Medium heat until they are blackened and blistered all over, 12 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Place the peppers in a medium bowl and cover with plastic to trap the steam.
- Set aside for at least 10 minutes, then peel the skin and discard the stems and seeds.
- Place the peppers in a food processor with 1 tablespoon oil, and the salt and pepper.
- Process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Cut each eggplant crosswise into 8 slices, each about 1/2 inch thick.
- Lightly brush or spray both sides with oil.
- Grill over Direct Medium heat until the underside is well marked, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Transfer half of the slices to a tray, with the grilled sides facing up.
- Turn the remaining slices over and grill until well marked on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes more.
- Place a tablespoon of the red pepper mixture in the center of the grilled side of each eggplant slice on the tray.
- Place a slice of prosciutto (folded to fit), a slice of the mozzarella, and a basil leaf on top of the red pepper mixture.
- Top each "sandwich" with a slice of the eggplant that has been grilled on both sides.
- Use a wide spatula to place the "sandwiches" on the cooking grate, uncooked side down, and grill over Direct Medium heat until the cheese is softened and the sandwiches are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Serve warm with the remaining pepper mixture spooned, if desired.
ROASTED EGGPLANT AND BUFFALO MOZZARELLA PIZZA
In Italy, when high-quality buffalo mozzarella is used to top a pizza, it's often added after baking instead of before. The heat of the just-cooked pizza softens but doesn't melt the cheese, which retains its milky, sweet flavor and stays supple instead of becoming stretchy. Here, the cheese crowns a pizza topped with tomato, roasted eggplant, chile flakes and fresh basil leaves. If you can't get good buffalo mozzarella, substitute dollops of fresh ricotta. Or, you could experiment with burrata, draining it first. Save the cream, mix it with olive oil and salt, then use it to top ripe tomatoes instead of dressing. And if you are in a rush, substitute store-bought pizza dough.

Steps:
- Make the dough: Mix the yeast, warm water and olive oil in the bowl of an electric stand mixer or food processor, and let the mixture sit until the yeast is foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Add in flour and salt, and using the dough hook or food processor blade, beat or pulse it until a smooth, slightly elastic dough forms, 2 to 3 minutes. Lightly coat a bowl with olive oil, place dough in the bowl, and turn the dough to coat it with oil. Cover the bowl loosely with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap, place in the refrigerator and let it sit overnight.
- Divide the dough in quarters, and shape each piece into a tight, compact ball. Place the dough balls on a lightly oiled baking sheet or plate, loosely cover with plastic wrap and let them rise in the refrigerator another 1 to 2 hours (or up to 6 hours).
- When ready to bake the pizzas, place racks in the top third and bottom third of the oven. Put a pizza stone on top rack, and heat oven to 450 degrees.
- Prepare the toppings: On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the eggplant generously with oil, salt and pepper. Roast eggplant on the bottom rack until caramelized and tender, 40 to 45 minutes, tossing halfway through. Remove from the oven and raise the oven heat to 500 degrees.
- On a piece of parchment paper, stretch out one of the balls of dough to a 12-inch round. Spread 2 tablespoons tomato purée on top, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Scatter on 1/4 of the sliced garlic, a large pinch of red-pepper flakes and drizzle with oil to taste.
- Arrange 1/4 of the roasted eggplant on top. Use a pizza peel or cookie sheet to slide the parchment onto the pizza stone. Bake until crispy and golden on the top and bottom, 7 to 10 minutes. Use tongs to pull the pizza out of the oven and onto a wire rack to cool.
- Immediately top with chunks of cheese, pulling it apart with your hands into bite-size pieces. Top with basil, more oil to taste and flaky sea salt. Repeat with the remaining dough and toppings.

Discard bay leaf. Season tomato mixture to taste with salt and pepper.
- Place basil, 3 tablespoons oil, pine nuts, 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, and remaining half of garlic in processor; puree. Set pesto aside.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Place 4 individual gratin dishes (about 7x4 3/4 inches) on rimmed baking sheet. Place 2 slices eggplant in 1 prepared dish. Top with 1/4 of tomato mixture, 3 slices mozzarella cheese, 2 tablespoons pesto, and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Repeat layering of remaining ingredients in 3 gratin dishes. Bake until heated through, about 8 minutes. Preheat broiler. Broil until cheese bubbles, about 3 minutes. Serve hot.

- Thinly slice the eggplant/aubergines then place them in a colander. Sprinkle them lightly with salt and set them aside for 1 hour. This drains off any excess water and helps with frying.
- Meanwhile, make the simple tomato sauce. Finely chop 1 onion and sauté in a pan with the olive oil until translucent and soft but not browned. Add the tomato passata (pureed tomatoes) and a small bunch of basil torn with your hands. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, stir then let it simmer gently for 10-15 minutes. Set aside.
- Rinse the eggplant slices under cold water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel or paper. Lightly dust them with flour, shaking off any excess then fry them in sunflower oil for a few seconds each side, drain on kitchen paper to remove any excess oil.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350F/gas mark 4. I used an 11x8 inch oval dish but a rectangle or square dish around the same size will work too e.g 10x8 inch.

- Thinly slice the eggplant to ¼ inch (½ cm thick. Spray or lightly drizzle the baking tray with olive oil and place the eggplant slices evenly on the tray. Sprinkle with salt then drizzle with more olive oil (about 1 tbsp per tray). Bake in the oven for 10 minutes until soft then set aside.
- Meanwhile, make the tomato sauce. Heat olive oil in a medium-sized pan or skillet and add the finely chopped garlic cloves followed by the fennel seeds and oregano. Fry for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
- Add the white wine and reduce by half (simmer the liquid until only half remains). Add the chopped tomatoes then add a splash of water to the empty can (around 1-2 tbsp). Swirl it around to get the last drops of tomato then add that to the sauce with the tomato paste and a good pinch of salt and pepper.
