Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs savory, basil, marjoram, thyme, rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cloves garlic minced or pressed
- 1 red bell pepper halved lengthwise, stemmed and seeded
- 1 small eggplant cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
- 1 medium zucchini trimmed and halved lengthwise
- 2 large tomatoes (or 4 Roma tomatoes) cored and halved lengthwise (if using cherry tomatoes, grill whole)
- 1 small red onion cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons white balsamic, sherry or wine vinegar
- Preheat barbecue grill or broiler to medium-high.
- Combine oil, herbs, salt and garlic in a bowl large enough to accommodate the vegetables, mix thoroughly.
- Put the vegetables in the bowl and gently roll and toss to coat with the flavorings.
- Place the vegetables on the grill and cook for 3–4 minutes, turn over and cook for about another 3–4 minutes or until the vegetables are nicely charred and to your liking. They continue to cook after removing them from the hot surface so adjust cooking time accordingly. Reserve the bits of vegetable flavorings that remain in the bowl as you will toss them into the finished dish. The tomatoes and zucchini need slightly less time to cook, so as they are ready remove from grill and broiler and a hold them in the bowl.
- When cool enough to handle, cut the vegetables into bite size pieces on a cutting board, then return the cut vegetables to the bowl. Toss with vinegar and the remaining herb mixture.
