- 3 large beefsteak tomatoes, halved crosswise
- 2 medium zucchini

Instructions
- Prepare a grill for medium heat.
- Put the tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant and onion on the grill and cover. Grill the tomatoes, turning occasionally, until lightly charred, 5 to 6 minutes.

Reviews
Really good. Followed the recipe but added more garlic and less olive oil. Had really good sourdough that I lathered with goat cheese and served this on.
This was a GREAT recipe! I added a red bell pepper for color and flavor. Before putting the veggies on the grill I brushed everything with a herb garlic olive oil. I mixed the left over “brushing oil” in the finished product and didn’t use the full amount of oil listed in the recipe (only 1/4 cup total). Just delicious!! I will definitely use again.
A great idea but WAY too much olive oil. The veggies and herbs were so lovely, but too much olive oil made it all kind of greasy. I would try Bobby Flay’s recipe next time and also add oil gradually.
