Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 red bell peppers
2 sweet white onions, cut into rounds 3/4 inches thick (e.g., maui, vidalia, walla walla)
4 large tomatoes (approximately 2 lb total)
olive oil, for coating
1 bunch fresh basil, stemmed, coarsely chopped if desired
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

Prepare charcoal or gas grill for direct grilling over high heat, or preheat indoor electric grill. Oil the grill rack.
Put bell peppers, onion rounds, and tomatoes in a bowl and coat them with oil.
Grill peppers directly over high heat, turning to char and blister them on all sides, 5-7 minutes.
Transfer to a paper bag, close the bag, and let cool for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, grill onion rounds, turning once, until grill marked and partly tender, 2-3 mins per side. Transfer to a cutting board.
Grill tomatoes, turning often, until grill marked, 3-4 minutes. Dont overcook. Transfer to a cutting board.
Peel peppers and cut open to remove seeds and stems. Chop peppers coarsely and mound on a platter. Coarsely chop onions; then core and chop the tomatoes and add them to the platter.
Scatter basil leaves on top of the vegetables.
To make vinaigrette, combine garlic and vinegar in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in olive oil. Pour dressing over vegetables and toss well.
Season with salt and pepper and serve.
