Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 eggplant -- sliced lengthwise 3/8 " thick

1 onion -- quartered

1 red bell pepper -- halved

1 small zucchini -- sliced lengthwise 1/2 " thick

1 small yellow squash -- sliced lengthwise 1/2 " thick

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil -- (approximately)

1 pound plum tomatoes -- halved lengthwise

2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 cloves garlic -- minced

salt and black pepper

 

Prepare a medium hot fire in the grill.

 

Brush the eggplant, onion, pepper, zucchini, and summer squash with most of the

olive oil, reserving a little for the tomatoes. Skewer the onion.

 

Grill the vegetables, turning occasionally, until well-browned, about 10

minutes. Do not crowd the vegetables; do this step in two batches if your grill

surface is limited. Remove to a large cutting board.

 

Brush the cut side of the tomatoes with the remaining olive oil and grill cut

side down until lightly charred, about 10 minutes.

 

Chop the eggplant, onion, pepper, zucchini, and summer squash into bite-size

pieces. Peel and chop the tomatoes. Combine in a large bowl with the basil,

vinegar, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

 

Let stand for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop. Serve warm

or at room temperature.
