  8. Grilled Caponata:
  9. 1 medium eggplant, sliced lengthwise
  10. 1 large red onion, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch thick slices
  11. 4 plum tomatoes, halved
  12. Olive oil, for brushing vegetables, plus 1/2 cup
  13. Salt and freshly ground pepper
  14. 1/4 cup green olives, chopped
  15. 2 tablespoons capers, drained
  16. 1/4 cup golden raisins, plumped in hot water and drained
  17. 2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
  18. 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  19. Pinch red pepper flakes
  20. 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  21. 2 teaspoons honey
  22. 3 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  23. Heat grill to high. Brush eggplant, onion slices, and tomatoes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill the eggplant for 6 to 8 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Grill the onions for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and just cooked through. Grill the tomatoes for 2 minutes per side until charred and slightly soft. Remove the vegetables from the grill and cut into 1/2-inch dice.
  24. Place the vegetables in a medium bowl and add the olives, capers, raisins and pine nuts. Mix together the garlic, red pepper flakes, vinegar, and honey in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Slowly whisk in about 1/2 cup olive oil until dressing is emulsified. Pour the dressing over the vegetables, add the parsley and toss, and let stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
