Ingredients

1 large Italian eggplant, trimmed, sliced ½” thick

2 large bell peppers (at least one red)

1 red onion, sliced ½” thick

⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil, plus additional for brushing eggplant

2 tablespoons fresh oregano

2 tablespoons fresh thyme

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 ½ cups halved super-sweet cherry tomatoes

¾ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
  1. Prepare a medium-hot fire in a grill. Brush the eggplant and peppers lightly with the olive oil. Grill the eggplant, peppers, and onion over direct heat until both are soft and lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes, turning as needed. Remove the eggplant and onion from the grill and dice.
  2. Toss the eggplant and onion in a large bowl with the diced peppers, oregano, thyme, vinegar, ⅓ cup olive oil, garlic, and tomatoes. Toss gently; season with salt and pepper. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
