			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I really wanted to try a new baked eggplant recipe that I found in a cookbook, Dishing Up Maine, but with Boston&#8217;s recent <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XE2fnYpwrng" target="_blank">heatwave</a> there was no way I was turning on any part of my stove to fuel the fire of my 85 degree apartment.  Instead I made some changes to the recipe to make it grilling appropriate and headed to the back porch in search of some cool breeze.</p>
<p><strong>Grilled Eggplant Stacks w/ Random Herb Pesto</strong><br />
Cheese and herb options are really up to the cook, I shared what I used in italics but left the ingredients quite vague in the recipe.</p>
<p>1 large eggplant sliced in 1/2 inch rounds<br />
2-3 tomatoes, thickly sliced (make sure you have the same amount of eggplant and tomato slices)<br />
sliced melting cheese <em>(Brie)</em><br />
olive oil, salt and pepper<br />
<strong>Random Herb Pesto:</strong> grind up fresh herbs, toasted nuts, chopped garlic and olive oil in a food processor and season with salt and pepper.  Adding a hodge podge of herbs is a good technique to use when your basil is getting low. <em>(basil, chives, parsley, walnuts)</em></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1555" title="IMGP1945" src="http://crowsinthekitchen.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/IMGP1945-300x225.jpg" alt="IMGP1945" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>Sprinkle both sides of the eggplant with salt and let rest in a strainer or drying rack for 15 minutes.  Dab moisture away with paper towels.  Brush both sides with oil and place on a preheated grill and put the cover down.  After a few minutes check for grill marks and flip.  Spread the pesto on the gilled side and add the tomatoes to the grill.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1556" title="IMGP1947" src="http://crowsinthekitchen.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/IMGP1947-300x249.jpg" alt="IMGP1947" width="300" height="249" /><br />
Once the tomato slices are quickly grilled on both sides add them to the eggplant and cover with a piece of melting cheese.  Turn the grill on low and shut the cover until the cheese is fully melted.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1557" title="IMGP1949" src="http://crowsinthekitchen.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/IMGP1949-225x300.jpg" alt="IMGP1949" width="225" height="300" /></p>
<p>These eggplant stacks go great with some grilled bread and a garden salad.  If your kitchen isn&#8217;t a bazillion degrees then I would also suggest making some couscous as a side.</p>
