Grilled Miso Eggplant with Yuzu Yogurt, Mint, and Sesame Seeds

This recipe is brought to you by our friends from Stella Artois. Courtesy of chef Theo Friedman, this grilled eggplant recipe is simultaneously delicate and robust, with a wonderful melting texture, and bright but savory Asian flavors. Japanese eggplants, which are longer, narrower, and thinner-skinned than globe eggplants, are simply halved and brushed with a sweet-salty white miso, mirin, rice wine vinegar, and sugar glaze, then grilled until charred and tender.

All you need is half a pound of pizza dough, a pot of boiling salted water, and a sauce (marinara is perfect).

What to buy: Premade pizza dough is available bagged in 14- or 16-ounce portions at well-stocked groceries.
