Cooking Instructions:

Grilled Ratatouille

Drizzle oil over green and yellow zucchini, red and orange peppers, red onion, tomatoes, mushrooms and eggplant; season with salt and pepper. Toss gently.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat; grease grate well. Grill zucchini, peppers, red onion and tomatoes for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until well marked and just tender. Grill mushrooms and eggplant for 3 to 5 minutes per side or until well marked and tender. Slice mushrooms. Arrange veggies and mushrooms on large serving platter or board.

Creamy Basil Wine Vinaigrette

Whisk tahini paste with 3 tbsp wine until smooth; gradually whisk in remaining wine. Stir in oil, garlic, honey and salt until blended; fold in basil. Drizzle over veggies and mushrooms just before serving.

Recipe Notes

Grilled instead of stewed, this updated take on a classic ratatouille makes a wonderful main or side dish. It’s drizzled with a creamy basil and wine vinaigrette for a decadent finish.

Serve veggies and mushrooms on a bed of baby arugula and top with smashed chickpeas if desired.
