Ingredients

  • 1 large head garlic, top sliced off to expose tips of garlic cloves
  • 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 large, ripe tomatoes (about 3/4 pound), halved
  • 1 small eggplant (about 1 pound), trimmed and cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch slices
  • 1 large zucchini (about 1/2 pound), trimmed and cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch slices
  • 1 large yellow squash (about 1/2 pound), trimmed and cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch slices
  • 1 small red onion (about 1/2 pound), peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rings
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, stem, seeds, and ribs removed, cut in 1/2 lengthwise
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper, stem, seeds, and ribs removed, cut in 1/2 lengthwise
  • 1/4 cup sherry vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • Freshly grated Parmesan, garnish

Directions

Preheat the grill.

Before preparing the vegetables, roast the garlic. Rub 1 teaspoon of the oil and a pinch of the salt and pepper onto the cut side of the garlic. Wrap in foil and place on the grill. Roast until soft and starting to caramelize, turning occasionally, about 25 minutes. Remove from the grill and let sit until cool enough to handle.

Rub 2 teaspoons of the oil and pinch of the salt and pinch of the pepper on the tomatoes. Place on the grill away from the direct heat (or on the upper rack) and grill until tender and start to char, about 6 minutes, depending upon the heat. (The longer the tomatoes stay on the grill, the smokier flavor they will obtain.) Remove from the heat and when cool, remove the skin and roughly chop.

In a large bowl, combine the eggplant, zucchini, squash, onions, and bell peppers and toss with 2 tablespoons of the oil, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper. Grill, turning, until marked by the grill and tender, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove with tongs and let cool. Dice into 1/2-inch pieces.

In the bottom of a large bowl, mash the roasted garlic and 1 teaspoon of olive oil to make a paste. Drizzle in the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper, and the vinegar and whisk to combine. Add the chopped vegetables, tomatoes, and the herbs and toss to coat. Serve at room temperature, garnished with Parmesan. (The ratatouille can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight to allow the flavors to further develop.)

    I never write reviews but have to for this recipe. I have been making this for several years - it is excellent! All the grilling is rather labor intensive but worth it and could be done in batches. It works just as well roasted in the oven and is a little easier. My husband and I love it. I grill the veggies until they are quite soft and we eat it on toasted baguette (or other bread slices topped with parm, feta or similar cheese - whatever I have on hand. I don't care much for eggplant so I reduce it and increase the squashes. I think the roasted garlic and the vinegar are key. I usually double the recipe using local fresh vegs in the summer. It freezes beautifully so for us it's a summer treat again in the dead of winter. We've had friends stop in when having it as "leftovers" and they were amazed. So, it could be served as an appetizer, or a side but most worthy to be the main event. Excellent!!!

    This is our most favorite summer recipe!!! We use fresh veggies from our garden or a local market and if you can make or find a good rich sourdough bread to dip in the dressing, you will be amazed!!!

    Very good flavor, A bit of work on the Weber(charcoal grilling the veggies. Keep your eye on the veggies to prevent over cooking or burning.
