Grilled Eggplant Parmesan With Grilled Tomato Marinara

• 2 (1-pound) eggplants
• 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt, divided
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 large shallot
• 8 (10-inch) bamboo skewers
• 2 pints cherry tomatoes
• 2 large garlic cloves, halved
• 1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
• 1 pound fresh mozzarella, cut into 20 slices
• 2 tablespoons grated fresh Pecorino-Romano cheese
• Fresh basil leaves

1. Cut eggplants crosswise into 20 slices about 3/4 inch thick; place in a 13- x 9-inch baking dish.
2. Whisk together 1/4 cup oil, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, lemon juice, and shallot. Pour mixture over eggplants, turning to coat. Marinate 30 to 45 minutes. Meanwhile, soak bamboo skewers in water 30 minutes.
3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (350u0b0 to 400u0b0). Thread tomatoes on skewers; brush with 1 tablespoon oil. Grill 8 minutes, turning once.
4. Combine grilled tomatoes, garlic, vinegar, red pepper, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a food processor. Pulse until a chunky sauce forms.
5. Grill eggplant slices 5 minutes. Turn over, and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon sea salt. Top each eggplant slice with 1 mozzarella cheese slice, and grill 5 minutes or until eggplants are tender and cheese begins to melt.
6. Pour tomato sauce onto a serving platter. Top with eggplants, and sprinkle with Pecorino-Romano cheese and basil.
