Grilled Aubergines with Prosciutto Recipe

  • 1 eggplant, ends trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into rings and seeds removed
  • 1 cup spinach leaves, torn into pieces
  • 1 (1/2 ounce) slice thinly sliced prosciutto di Parma
  • 1 teaspoon sun-dried tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • freshly ground rock salt to taste
  1. Preheat your oven's broiler to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Arrange slices of eggplant and red bell pepper on a baking sheet. Broil for about 7 minutes, until soft.
  3. Meanwhile, place the spinach onto a serving plate and drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with salt. When the vegetables are done, arrange the red peppers over the spinach. Smear a small amount of sun-dried tomato paste onto each slice of eggplant. Top with a slice of prosciutto. Arrange the eggplant slices over the peppers in an overlapping spiral pattern. Serve immediately.
