What are you having for dinner tonight?

I am thinking fresh Tuna steak done on the BBQ. (as long as the weather holds out!!)

With some salad and a side dish of fries or seasoned potato wedges to share.

Couple of glasses of Chardonay to wash it all do with.

I will have this pasta with grilled eggplant, roasted tomatoes and smoked cheese.

• 2 pounds firm young eggplant

• 2 1/2 pounds ripe red tomatoes

• 1/2 large onion

• 1 clove garlic

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

• Fresh ground pepper

• 3/4 cup red wine

• Fresh chopped flat-leaf italian parsley to taste

• 4 ounces smoked mozzarella cheese, cut in 1/4-inch dice

• 1 pound fusilli noodles, or other sturdy pasta

• Salt

• Olive oil

Preparation:

• Wash and trim the eggplants and slice them lengthwise, 1/2-inch thick. Sprinkle them with salt on both sides and leave them in a glass dish for at least 30 minutes to release their excess water.

• Squeeze the eggplant slices gently, then brush them lightly.. more on the below page..
