Herbed Broiled Eggplant with Capers and Olives: Melanzane alla Griglia (Mario Batali) Recipe
Posted by
Ingredients:
- 4 japanese eggplants , halved lengthwise
- 2 tbsp freshly grated caciocavallo or pecorino romano or parmigiano reggiano
Directions:
- Preheat the broiler.
- Using a small paring knife, make a series of crosshatches to the cut surface of each eggplant half, cutting into the flesh but not through the skin.
- In a medium bowl, combine the olives, capers, mint, and basil and mash lightly with a fork to make a coarse paste. Stir in salt and pepper, to taste, and the grated cheese and mix well. Press the mixture into the cuts in each eggplant.
- Place the eggplants, cut side up, on a grill or broiler rack, and drizzle each with a bit of olive oil. Broil for about 8 minutes, or until the tops are crisp and bubbling. Serve at room temperature.
