Ingredients

    1 Japanese eggplant (about 5 oz/150 g)
    1 zucchini
    3 tbsp (45 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
    1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper
    1 sweet yellow or orange pepper
    1 small red onion
    Half head radicchio (3 oz/90 g for half)
    1/4 cup (50 mL) shredded fresh basil
    1/4 cup (50 mL) shaved Canadian Asiago cheese

    1 tbsp (15 mL) sherry vinegar
    1  small clove garlic, minced
    1/2 tsp (2 mL) Dijon mustard

Preparation

Sherry Vinaigrette: In small bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, garlic, mustard and sugar; set aside.

Cut eggplant and zucchini into generous 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick slices; place in bowl. Toss with 4 tsp (20 mL) of the oil and pinch each of the salt and pepper.

Cut yellow pepper into quarters. Cut onion into 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick slices. Brush with 4 tsp (20 mL) of the remaining oil and pinch each of the remaining salt and pepper.

Place vegetables on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until browned and tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, leaving core intact, cut radicchio into 4 wedges. Brush with remaining oil; sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper. Place on greased grill; close lid and grill, turning once, until core is tender when pierced with fork and leaves are mostly browned, 4 minutes.

Cut peppers into strips. Separate onion into rings. Cut out core of radicchio. On platter or in bowl, toss all vegetables with dressing and basil. Garnish with Asiago cheese. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
