Grilled Eggplant And Tomato Tartine Recipes

Steps:

• For the tomatoes: Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a wide, shallow bowl, toss tomato slices with olive oil, garlic and thyme. Spread on a baking sheet. Roast 20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• For the tapenade: Place olives and capers in blender or food processor and chop coarsely. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in olive oil. Puree until smooth; set aside.
• For assembly: Prepare grill for cooking or heat ridged grill pan over moderately high heat. Brush both sides of eggplant slices with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill, turning as necessary, until slightly charred and soft, about 3 to 4 minutes a side.
• Preheat a broiler. Spread thin layer of goat cheese on each slice of bread. Top each with an equal portion of eggplant, tapenade and roasted tomatoes. Sprinkle with grated Pecorino. Broil until cheese is melted and tartine is piping hot, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Generously season eggplant slices with salt. Place vertically in a colander, overlapping them. Let stand 30 minutes; rinse and pat dry.
• Preheat grill to medium-high. Liberally brush cut sides of eggplant with oil. Grill, turning once, until tender, about 4 minutes a side. Mix tomatoes, pine nuts, feta, red-pepper flakes, and oil; season with salt. Spoon over eggplant; top with basil.

Steps:

• Prepare a hot grill. Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise, sprinkle with salt and brush on both sides with olive oil. Cut the tomatoes in half, sprinkle with salt and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Grill the eggplant on both sides until soft and charred. Grill the tomatoes on the cut side until grill marks appear, turn and grill briefly on the other side.
• Transfer the grilled vegetables to a platter. Spoon chermoula over the top. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Place the eggplant slices on the wheat bread so that it is covered. On top place the tomato slices side by side. Cut the tartine in 4 equal triangles. Place the pieces on a plate. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan on top and then garnish with the sliced cucumber, lemons, and parsley and serve.
