Ingredients
- 1/2 pound plum tomatoes, halved and seeded
- 1 clove garlic
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 2 eggplants (about 3 pounds), sliced lengthwise 1/4 inch thick
- 1 cup ricotta
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1/4 cup grated Asiago or Parmesan (1 ounce)
- 4 cups mixed greens
Directions
- Heat broiler. In a food processor, puree the tomatoes, garlic, 1 tablespoon of the oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- In 2 batches, arrange the eggplant slices on a broilerproof baking sheet, brush with 2 tablespoons of the oil, and season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Broil until charred and tender, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the ricotta, egg, basil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Spread half the tomato sauce in the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish. On top of it, layer a third of the eggplant slices and half the ricotta mixture. Repeat with another layer of eggplant and ricotta. Top with the remaining eggplant and tomato sauce. Sprinkle with the Asiago.
- Reduce oven to 400º F. Bake the lasagna until bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- Divide the greens among plates, drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of oil; sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Serve with the lasagna.

FRESH PICK
Kale
A nutritional powerhouse, kale is a great source of vitamins A and C, calcium, and cancer-fighting phytonutrients. It has
a mild cabbagey taste but none of the bitterness of other winter greens.
