Preparation

Step 1

Peel off strips of eggplant skin lengthwise to create stripes. Cut eggplant crosswise into ¾ inch thick rounds. Sprinkle all over with salt. Let stand for 30 minutes. Place rounds between tea towels and press out liquid.

Cherry Tomato Sauce
In bowl, mix together tomatoes, anchovies, garlic, oil, vinegar, basil, salt and pepper. Scrape into heavy-duty foil and wrap into packet. Place on grill over medium-high heat. Cook until saucy, 10 to 15 minutes.
