A little fiddly, but very, very nice. The vinagrette in particular was very unusual, sort of pesto with a hint of orient. We really liked it. Also, I grilled the eggplabt on a grill pan instead of proper grill, and it was just fine. I used both mozzarella and goat cheese, and both went well. Thanks for the recipe!
