SUMMER RECIPE WAGON: Grilled Eggplant Sandwiches

This filling snack can easily become a meal with a crisp salad of curly lettuce , red onions and crumbled feta.

1 large eggplant (about 1 ½ pounds)

¼ cup all purpose flour

8 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 8 slices

¼ teaspoon salt

4 large slices ripe tomato

¼ cup vegetable oil, divided

8 anchovy fillets

1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Slice unpeeled eggplant crosswise into eight ½ inch thick slices.  In a pie plate, combine flour and salt.  Dip eggplant slices in the flour mixture to coat evenly.

In a large skillet or griddle , heat 2 tablespoons oil over moderate heat.  Working batches, add the eggplant and cook until tender and browned on both sides, about 2 minutes each side adding more oil if necessary. Remove the eggplant slices and drain.

On each of four eggplant slices, place a slice of cheese, a tomato slice, and two anchovies; top with the remaining eggplant slices.

Return the skillet or griddle to moderate heat; cook the eggplant sandwiches until the cheese melts slightly, about 3 minutes, turning once.  Transfer the eggplant sandwiches to serving plates, sprinkle with parsley.
