Ingredients

  • 1 large head garlic, top sliced off to expose tips of garlic cloves
  • 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 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 freshly minced basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons freshly minced parsley leaves
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped thyme leaves
  • Freshly grated Parmesan, for 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. Squeeze the pulp from the garlic skins and set aside.

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.)

Serve atop grilled wild Alaskan salmon.

    I made this in the skillet but instead of the eggplant I used red potatoes and I roasted the garlic in the oven covered in foil. I cut up all vegables 1/2 " thick, cut peppers in 1" sq. and half an onion in 4. I cooked everything separate in the skillet, potatoes, vegetables, peppers and onion. I don't think I used 1/4 cup dry sherry because I mixed it with the garlic and oil. It was alot of work but worth it and the fresh herbs really made a nice presentation. I didn't have fresh basil so I used dry but my guests thought it was the greatest side dish they ever ate.

    This recipe is not difficult but it does take time to grill the vetetables. I suggest that it be made ahead of time. Your guest will be supprised and love it.
