ingredients

1 eggplant, cut lengthways into thin slices and sprinkled with salt to take out the bitterness,then rinsed and d
1 tablespoon salt
250 g cherry tomatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium red pepper, halved
1 small green pepper, halved
¹⁄₃ cup fresh basil leaf, shredded
2 medium zucchini, sliced
90 g button mushrooms, halved
2 tablespoons chopped oregano, fresh leaves (I use 1 tblsp dried)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil, extra (optional)

directions

Preheat oven to 180C (350F).
Place the eggplant slices in a single layer in a baking tray which has been brushed with oil (I use a non-stick tray so omit the oil) Make cross slits on each tomato and place them with the eggplant slices.
Now brush them with a little oil and bake for 10 mins.
Cool.
Cut the eggplant into strips.
Deseed the peppers and grill until the skin is black and then wrap in a damp cloth until cool.
Rub the skin off and chop.
Keep the zucchini slices in a bowl and cover with boiling water for 1 minute.
Drain and dip in cold water.
Drain again.
Now combine all vegetables and the herbs in a big serving bowl and sprinkle the balsamic vinegar and the olive oil over and toss well.
Keep standing for 1 hour for them to get acquainted.
Serve at room temperature.

This was labor intensive, but very good. Loved the veggies with the balsamic vinegar and oil dressing. The only change was that I added salt and pepper to taste. I wonder if all the vegetables could be drizzled with olive oil, and roasted, then add the dressing? I may try that next time. Thanks for the recipe, Fay.
