Grilled Vegetables

  • Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Brush the eggplant and zucchini slices on both sides with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the vegetables over moderate heat, turning once, until lightly charred and tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

  • Arrange the vegetables on a serving platter. Spoon some of the salsa verde over the vegetables, and serve the remaining sauce on the side.

Make Ahead

The salsa verde can be made 3 hours ahead.
