GRILLED EGGPLANT, TOMATO AND FETA STACKS
Eggplant slices are brushed with a lemon-herb mixture, grilled and then topped with juicy tomatoes and salty feta. Eggplant doesn't need to cook very long on the grill so be sure to keep a close eye on it and remove it when it begins to get charred grill marks. Great hot or at room temperature and served either as a main dish or a side. It also makes a great, healthy appetizer. Change the flavour profile of this recipe by using diced mozzarella instead of feta and red wine vinegar instead of lemon juice.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium. Prepare the chicken: With your knife parallel to the cutting board, slice each chicken breast in half horizontally without cutting all the way through; open like a book. Cover with plastic wrap and pound until 1/2 inch thick.
- Make the filling: Whisk 1/4 cup olive oil, the harissa, cumin and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a bowl. Brush the eggplant with some of the harissa oil. Brush the grill grates with olive oil. Grill the eggplant until tender, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Meanwhile, mix the bulgur, tomato, feta, parsley, mint, lemon juice and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a separate bowl; season with salt and pepper.
- Season the pounded chicken on both sides with salt and pepper and brush with half of the remaining harissa oil; top with the eggplant and bulgur mixture, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Roll up the chicken toward the pointy end; tie with 3 pieces of kitchen twine. Brush with the remaining harissa oil.
- Grill the chicken breasts, turning, until cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes, then remove the twine and slice.

GRILLED EGGPLANT STACKS WITH GOAT CHEESE, TOMATO AND BASIL SAUCE
A great summertime dish, this is an incredibly delicious recipe. I like to serve these eggplant stacks with grilled steak or chicken but these tasty stacks are good enough all on their own. The combination of the basil oil drizzled on the layers of eggplant with the goat cheese and tomato work so well together. You can't go wrong if you want to use feta instead of the goat cheese, I made a few with each and they are both equally delicious. If you are entertaining, these are a perfect choice to make ahead of time and than bake when you are ready to serve and they make a beautiful presentation!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut the eggplant into ½" thick rounds. Lightly season them with salt on both sides and let sit on a paper towel for 30 minutes to let water to come out of the eggplant.
- Brush or drizzle olive oil on top of each slice and grill them for 2 -3 minutes each side until cooked.
- Blend the basil leaves with 4 tablespoons olive oil, 2 garlic cloves, lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor or blender until smooth.
- Cut the tomatoes crosswise to 1/4" thick rounds.
- On an oiled baking pan or using parchment paper, arrange 4 eggplant rounds side by side. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of the basil-garlic mixture on top of each one, then generously sprinkle the cheese crumbs. Top each with tomato rings. Add another layer of eggplant, basil spread, cheese and tomato rounds and top with the rest of the crumbled feta. Make as many layers as you can. Usually, 1 large eggplant will make 4, 3 layer stacks.
- Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes until the tomatoes are wilted and the cheese is soft and melted.
- Enjoy!
CHAR-GRILLED EGGPLANT & ROASTED TOMATO SALAD W. FETA CHEESE
A friend of mine made this for dinner for us, and I can't tell you how good it is. It made a great side dish with our grilled salmon, and would go with any grilled meat or fish really. I would have it on it's own for lunch too. It comes from Delia Smith. If you don't have a grill pan for the top of the stove, you can just broil the eggplant, but I like the nice lines the pan leaves. The recipe tells you to skin the tomatoes, but my friend didn't bother and neither would I ! I would make this ahead though, so all the flavors can mingle and get to know one another. Plus, then it's all done, and you can have an extra glass of wine while someone else grills your meat or fish!

Steps:
- Pre-heat the oven to 400°F.
- Cut the tomatoes in half lengthwise, and place on a baking tray, cut side up. Season well, and drizzle with 1 Tbsp olive oil. Place them on the top shelf of the oven and roast for 50 -60 minutes. Remove them from the oven and let them cool.
- While the tomatoes are cooling, cut the eggplant into 1/2 inch slices and lay them on a board and lightly sprinkle them with salt on both sides. Leave them for 20 minutes to draw out some of the moisture and bitterness. Blot them with paper towels.
- Brush them on both sides using 1 Tbsp of the olive oil and season with black pepper.
- Brush the grill pan with ollive oil and place it over a high heat, then, when it is very hot, cook the eggplant in batches for about 2 1/2 minutes each side.
- Pour the remaining 6 Tbsp olive oil into a large flat bowl, add the basil and balsamic, and toss in the cooked eggplants, coating well. Leave them to marinate.
- When you're ready to serve, divide the salad greens between 4 plates and arrange the tomatoes and eggplant alternately all around. Then place equal quantities of the feta in the middle of each salad and drizzle with the remaining marinate. Finally, put 1 Tbsp of creme fraiche on top of each salad and spinle with a little paprika.
- As you can see, this has some room for playing around with. You could certainly use more feta if you wish, or omit the salad greens -- We never did use the creme fraiche, just cuz after that extra glass of wine, we forgot it! But it was still amazing.

Steps:
- Blend basil with oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt in blender until finely chopped. Pour into a paper-towel- or coffee-filter-lined sieve set over a bowl and let drain 20 minutes. Gather together sides of towel or filter and press gently on it to extract more oil. (You will have a generous 1/3 cup oil.) Reserve 1 tablespoon basil oil separately for serving. Scrape basil solids into a small bowl and reserve.
- Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas); see "Grilling Procedure," below.
- While grill heats, cut off bottoms of eggplants, then cut 6 (1/2-inch-thick) crosswise rounds from each, starting from cut end. Reserve remaining eggplant for another use. Cut 4 (1/3-inch-thick) rounds from large tomato and 2 center slices (1/3 inch thick) from each medium tomato, reserving remaining tomato for another use.
- Lightly brush eggplant rounds on both sides with basil oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Grill on a lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over occasionally, lightly brushing eggplant with more basil oil occasionally if it looks dry, until eggplant is very tender, 6 to 10 minutes. (Leave gas grill on.)
- Make stacks:
- On baking pan, arrange 4 largest eggplant rounds side by side and spread each with a generous 1/2 teaspoon of reserved basil solids, then top each with 1 of 4 largest tomato rounds. Season tomatoes with salt and pepper and top each with about 1 tablespoon feta. Make another layer with medium-size eggplant rounds, basil solids, medium tomato rounds, salt, pepper, and feta, then top with remaining eggplant and feta.
- Set baking pan on grill and cook stacks, with grill cover closed, until heated through and cheese on top is softened, about 3 minutes. Transfer stacks to 4 plates and drizzle plates with reserved basil oil.
- Grilling Procedure
- If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. When charcoal turns grayish white (about 15 minutes from lighting), hold your hand 5 inches above grill rack to determine heat for charcoal as follows:
- Hot: When you can hold your hand there for 1 to 2 seconds
- Medium-hot: 3 to 4 seconds
- Low: 5 to 6 seconds
- If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then, if necessary, reduce to heat specified in recipe.
