  • In a medium bowl mix the tomatoes with ½ teaspoon of oil and a pinch of salt. Brush the eggplant, zucchini and onion slices on both sides with oil and season evenly with salt, pepper and ½ teaspoon of thyme.
  • Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat (180°C to 230°C) and preheat a perforated grill pan for 10 minutes.
  • Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the eggplant, zucchini and onion slices on the cooking grates over direct medium heat, with the lid closed, until marked and tender, 10 to 12 minutes for the onion and 8 minutes for the eggplant and zucchini, turning once or twice. At the same time, grill the tomatoes on the grill pan until warmed and lightly marked, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the grill and let rest until cool enough to handle.
