    List of Ingredients




    1 - 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    1/3 cup lemon juice
    1/3 cup olive oil
    1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
    1 Tbsp. sugar
    1 tsp. oregano
    Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
    5 baby Italian eggplant or 1 large eggplant, sliced in 1/2-inch rounds
    4 plum tomatoes, sliced
    1 roll (8 oz) soft goat cheese
    Fresh basil leaves

    In a large bowl, mix together the garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, basil, sugar, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss the eggplant slices in the mixture, making sure they are very well coated. Place the eggplant on a very hot grill. If there is any marinade left, pour it over the eggplant. After two minutes, turn the eggplant over. Place tomato slices, a bit of cheese, and a few leaves of basil on top of half the eggplant slices. Place another slice of eggplant on top to make a "sandwich." Serve immediately with tomato-basil topper (see below).

    Tomato-Basil Topper

    5 plum tomatoes
    1/2 cup finely chopped fresh basil
    2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
    1 Tbsp. finely chopped onion
    Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

    Mix all ingredients together and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
