Ingredients
- 12 slices of eggplant (about 1/4-inch thick)
- Drizzle of olive oil
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 12 slices of prosciutto ham
- 12 slices of fresh Mozzarella, about 1/8-inch thick
- 1 small head of radicchio lettuce
- Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup Balsamic Syrup, recipe follows
Directions
Preheat the grill.
Season both sides of the eggplant slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill the eggplant for 2 minutes on each side.
Lay a piece of prosciutto on one piece of grilled eggplant. Lay a slice of cheese on top of the prosciutto. Carefully roll up the eggplant and secure the roll with two toothpicks. Repeat the above process with the remaining grilled eggplant.
Cut the radicchio in quarters. Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Grill for 1 minute on each side. Remove from the grill and cut away the core of the lettuce. Using a sharp knife, shred the radicchio. In a mixing bowl, toss the radicchio with extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Place the eggplant roulades on the grill and cook until the cheese starts to melt. Remove from the grill. Place the radicchio on a large platter. Arrange the roulades on the platter. Drizzle the entire platter with the Balsamic Syrup.
Balsamic Syrup:
- 3 cups balsamic vinegar
In a medium-saucepan, over medium heat, add the balsamic vinegar. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer until the liquid reduces by 3/4, about 30 minutes or until syrup-like consistency. Remove from the heat and cool completely.
Yield: about 1/4 cup

Didn't "roulade" them ... grilled on the stove flat for 2 minutes each side and then laid them on heavy baking sheets covered with parchment paper and put prosciutto and low-fat mozzarella on grilled eggplant and then baked in 400 degree oven for about 10 minutes (until cheese melted and ham got a little cooked. Also made the sauce ... but most people loved it without the syrup. Served to 7 people at a party and they couldn't stop talking about it ... am making again today just for me and my wife ... YUMMY!

Have some patience with this one, and since it makes a large portion, make it for diners that appreciate the effort. Make sure when you get the ham, have the deli clerk separate the slices with paper (if not, you will take this advice the 2nd time. This is a classic!
