Ingredients

  • 1 large eggplant
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 1 lb meat (such as steak or chicken breast)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ cup fresh dill
  • 1 purple flower (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the 1 large eggplant and 2 medium zucchini into 1/2-inch rounds. Toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.

  2. 2

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the vegetables in a single layer, turning once, until charred and tender, about 4-5 minutes per side. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Season the 1 lb meat with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Grill to your desired doneness, about 5-7 minutes per side for medium, until nicely browned.

  4. 4

    Let the meat rest for 5 minutes, then slice against the grain.

  5. 5

    Arrange the grilled vegetables and sliced meat on a platter. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup fresh dill and garnish with the purple flower if using.

  6. 6

    Serve warm, drizzled with extra olive oil if desired.
