Very tasty way to prepare summer vegetables. I used eggplant, red bell pepper, red onions, and zucchini all cut in equal-sized large chunks. Cooked together in a grill pan on a gas grill. The addition of fresh mint at the end really enhances the flavor. Served with grilled lamb chops.
Excellent
This is fast and delicious. Reminds me of Turkish mezes. Also used this marinade on chicken breasts and red peppers - grilled them along with the eggplant and had a wonderful dinner.
