PREPARATION:
Make Grilled Tomato Dressing:
- Place the tomatoes on the grill or in the oven. Grill until the skin is evenly charred, or roast at 350 degrees for about an hour. Remove the tomatoes from the oven to cool, transfer to a plate to cool. Place the tomatoes with their juices in a food processor. Add the garlic, cheese, basil parsley and vinegar. Blend until smooth. With the processor still running, drizzle in 2 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Heat grill. Rub all vegetables lightly with remaining oil and grill. Peppers take 10 to 15 minutes, onions will takeabout 10 minutes (try keeping stem ends intact), zucchini/squash 5 to 7 minutes, eggplant about 5 to 10 minutes and fennel will take about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Remove vegetables from grill and cut into large chunks. Toss with some of the Grilled Tomato Dressing.
To serve:
