Zuke-Eggplant Napoleons with Tomato, Basil, and Mozzarella
Serves 6

1/4 cup e.v. olive oil, divide
Salt and ground black pepper
1 large tomato, cut into 6 slices and lightly salted
1 ball fresh mozzarella (8 oz) cut into 6 slices
Small handful basil leaves
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Heat a gas grill igniting all burners on high or build a hot charcoal fire. Clean grate with a wire brush and then lubricate with an oil-soaked rag. Toss eggplant and zucchini slices with 3 Tbsp of the olive oil and a sprinkling of salt and pepper.Grill, about 5 minutes.then flip and continue to grill, covered, until vegetables are spotty brown on remaining side, 4 to 5 minutes longer.

As soon as vegetables come off the grill, build the napoleons as follows: 1 slice eggplant, 2 to 3 slices of zucchini, 1 slice mozzarella, a few basil leaves, a tomato slice, another eggplant slice and a few more zucchini slices. Lightly drizzle napoleons with remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the balsamic vinegar. Serve.
