Grilled Eggplant & Tomato Bundles



Grilled Eggplant & Tomato Bundles

Ingredients:

  • 6 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, very finely minced
  • 1/8 tsp thyme
  • 1/8 tsp basil
  • 1/8 tsp dill
  • 1/8 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 medium eggplant, sliced 1/2'' thick
  • 2 large tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 (16-oz) ball smoked Mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • 1 Tbsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp pepper
  • Parmesan cheese, grated (optional garnish)

Preparation:

  1. Combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, thyme, basil, dill, oregano, salt, and pepper in a medium-size bowl. Brush both sides of the eggplant with the olive oil and vinegar mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Arrange half of the eggplant slices on a tray and top with a piece of smoked Mozzarella, followed by a slice of tomato, and another piece of Mozzarella. Then, top with the remaining eggplant slices. Sprinkle the salt and pepper on each tomato as you build the bundles.
  3. To cook the bundles with the Rangemate, preheat the microwave grill on high for 5 minutes. Arrange the bundles on the grill. Cover and cook on high for 2 more minutes, carefully flip, then cook on high for an additional 3 minutes, or until fork tender.
  4. To cook the bundles on a barbecue grill, preheat the grill to medium. Arrange the bundles on the grill. Cook for approximately 5–7 minutes; carefully flip, then cook an additional 5–7 minutes until fork tender.
  5. Just before serving, garnish the bundles with a generous sprinkle of fresh Parmesan cheese, if desired.
