Grilled Marinated Vegetables Recipe
This is a basic recipe for any time you want to prepare grilled vegetables. I “marinate” the vegetables only after they are cooked. Marinating vegetables before they are grilled will produce soggy vegetables.
Ingredients
- 1 large eggplant
- 2 red bell peppers
- 1 bunch asparagus
- 2 red onions
- 1 red chili pepper or jalapeño pepper
- (optional)
- 2 tbsp chopped mint
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp good quality olive oil
- 1 tbsp sweet balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- 1
Heat grill to medium-hot.
- 2
Slice eggplant into ¼-inch slices, sprinkle with salt and let stand until small beads of water appear. Rinse and pat dry. Grill until soft. Thinly slice into ½-inch strips lengthwise.
- 3
Grill red peppers whole on all sides until nicely charred. Place in paper bag to steam or cover with plastic wrap for a few minutes; this will help to loosen the skin. Peel all charred skin and seed the peppers. Thinly slice peppers into ½-inch strips.
- 4
Grill asparagus until charred and softened.
- 5
Slice onion into ½-inch rounds and grill until softened; do not burn.
- 6
Grill hot chili or jalapeño pepper until charred on all sides. When cool, peel, seed and chop finely (this will be part of the dressing).
- 7
Place all vegetables (other than hot pepper) on a platter. Sprinkle with chopped mint, parley, garlic, chopped grilled chili pepper, olive oil and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for at least one hour (can keep in the fridge for several days). Serves 6.

Italian Lemon Ricotta Cheesecake with Blackberry Coulis
An Italian cheesecake is typically made with ricotta cheese. It is not overly sweet and slightly drier than a traditional cheesecake. This cake is best made the day before you want to serve it. The Blackberry Coulis really adds a nice touch. You can use frozen raspberries if you can find blackberries.
