Preparation
Step 1
Sauce:
Cook garlic and red pepper flakes in 1 tablespoon oil in 2 quart heavy
saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until garlic is golden, about 30
seconds. Add tomatoes, sugar and 1/2 te salt and simmer, uncovered,
stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.
Grill eggplant whille sauce cooks:
Heat grill pan over high heat until hot. Peel 2 inch wide strips of skin
from opposite sides of eggplant and discard. Holding a knife parallel to a
peeled side, cut eggplant lengthwise into 8 (1/2 inch thick) slices.
Brush both sides of slices with 3 tablespoons oil, then season with salt
and pepper.
Grill slices in batches, turning over once and brushing grilled sides with
some of remaining oil until golden brown and tender, about 4 minutes.
Transfer to tray.
Assemble eggplant rolls:
Stir together cheeses, 2 tablespoons basil, pepper, and remaining salt.
Divide cheese mixture among slices (3 to 4 tablespoons per slice) leaving
an 1/8 inch border along edge. Roll up each slice, beginning with a short
end, and serve rolls topped with sauce and sprinkled with remaining basil.
