grilled veggie antipasto

July 27, 2017 by Lovoni +

Whether you’re cooking for a crowd or want to be able to throw together a quick evening meal, you can’t go wrong with a colorful plate of antitpasto, especially with the abundance of eggplants, zucchini & peppers we currently have in the northern hemisphere. Grilled eggplant, zucchini & peppers marinated in a balsamic & basil dressing & served with some creamy, buffalo mozzarella & salty prosciutto.

Add whatever else takes your fancy: salami, olives, artichokes or sundried tomatoes.

I find there’s always something so unhurried with sharing heaping plates of food to pick at. Most days I’d prefer to graze on something like antipasto than sit down to a full meal.

And of course if there happens to be any leftovers, chop them up & throw them into a salad or add them to pasta or a grilled sandwich. I know I harp on about make-ahead food but with good reason, it makes life easier, especially when you’re entertaining. And really, who wouldn’t appreciate things easier, especially when it comes to cooking. Cheers,

Lovoni

Ingredients
  1. 2 medium eggplant
  2. 3 medium zucchini
  3. 3 large red or multi-colored bell peppers (capsicum)
  4. olive oil, for drizzling
  5. salt & freshly ground pepper
  6. 2 to 3 balls fresh mozzarella (I love buffalo mozzarella)
  7. 12 to 18 thin slices prosciutto
  8. extra basil leaves for garnish
  9. BALSAMIC MARINADE
  10. 1/2 cup olive oil
  11. 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  12. 1/3 cup coarsely chopped basil leaves
  13. 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  14. pinch of salt & freshly ground pepper
Instructions
  1. To make the marinade: Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl or shallow dish; set aside.
  2. Cut eggplant & zucchini lengthways into thin slices. Trim peppers & remove seeds & membranes. Cut in half or thirds. Drizzle veggies with a little oil & sprinkle with salt & pepper.
  3. Preheat a barbecue to high. Cook eggplant & zucchini in batches on greased grill for about 3 minutes per side, until grill marks appear. For the peppers, cook them 8 to 10 minutes, skin side down, until skin blackens & blisters, do not turn peppers.
  4. Cut eggplant & zucchini into 2 to 3-inch (5 to 7.5cm) pieces. Add to marinade. Cut peppers into 1-inch (2.5cm) strips add to marinade. Stir veggies ensuring they’re all coated in the marinade. Cover & chill for 6 hours or overnight, stirring occasionally.
  5. To serve: Drain veggies from marinade & them on a platter. Tear mozzarella into pieces & add to platter. Loosely roll each slice of prosciutto & add to platter. Serves 6.
