Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the eggplant and zucchini lengthwise 1 cm thick. Sprinkle the eggplant with half the salt, leave for 15 minutes, then pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Seed the red and green peppers and cut into large pieces. Cut the onion into 1 cm rings and halve the tomatoes; leave the mushrooms whole.

  3. 3

    Brush all the vegetables on every side with two-thirds of the olive oil.

  4. 4

    Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Working in batches, grill the eggplant and zucchini for 3-4 minutes per side, the peppers and onion for 4-5 minutes, and the mushrooms and tomatoes for 2-3 minutes, until marked and tender.

  5. 5

    Arrange on a platter, sprinkle with the remaining salt and the black pepper, drizzle with the remaining olive oil and serve warm.
