GRILLED EGGPLANT CAPRI



Grilled Eggplant Capri image

This recipe comes from Ralph's Bull & Claw Tavern in North Providence, Rhode Island. It was printed in the Food section of the Providence Journal. I have made it a few times and it is delicious! You may want to adjust the salt & garlic to taste. Also, I could not find a 16 oz can of whole peeled tomatoes, so I used a 28 oz can and had left over sauce to use for next time. I also salted and let sit the sliced eggplant in a colander for an hour, then rinsed and squeezed it dry. Enjoy!
