Grilled Vegetables

We either have no memory or we are really awesome, because every time we cook we think it is best meal we have EVER made. That being said, last night's grilled vegetables were really the best ever. Yesterday morning, we headed to the local farmer's market for some divine inspiration regarding what to cook for dinner, and the food gods were definitely with us. The vegetables were so fresh and beautiful that we clearly had to purchase many varieties and, of course, grill them. It was probably the best $22 we've spent -- ever.


Also, here is what is cool: vegetables in surprising colors, like purple peppers and white eggplants.


Ingredients:
Vegetables. We used:
1 white eggplant
1 purple eggplant
1 green pepper
1 purple pepper
1 white onion
1 zucchinni
1 pint mushrooms
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp minced basil
1 minced garlic clove

Instructions:
Wisk the vinegar, oil, garlic, and basil together into a dressing. Slice the vegetables so that there is a lot of surface area on each piece (no strips). Toss the vegetables in the dressing and grill them. The trick to the recipe is good ingredients.
