Grilled Eggplant Parm

One of our closest friends can't eat meat so I am always looking for good meatless entrees to try on the grill. I found this one at amazingribs.com and decided to give it a try-

Started with a couple of eggplants and a nice Portabella



took some of the skin off the eggplant, just leaving enough for some flavor



Tossed everything in a bowl with some Olive oil, salt, and pepper



Onto the MAK flame zone running at 375



Grilled until just starting to soften up



Don't forget the shroom!



Time for assembly, took the grilled eggplant and portabella and placed in the bottom of a glass baking dish



Top with fresh basil and oregano



Add the wife's homemade quick marinara sauce



Add a layer of fresh grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese

Grilled Eggplant Parm Part 2

Topped with fresh Mozzarella



Back on the MAK running @375



After about 20 Minutes pulled off when the cheese is melted



Need a little garlic bread to go with dinner so we start with this



Add a little homemade garlic spread



On to the Flame Zone @375



Ready to go



Dinner is served!




This came out awesome! So much tastier and lighter than the deep fried version, you can actually taste the eggplant. The key to this recipe is making sure everything is fresh. A wonderful meatless dinner that everyone loved!

Nice looking meal Carter!
