Make
- If making veggies on grill: Preheat grill to 500F (260C) degrees. Clean grates and brush with oil. Place veggies over direct heat. Set sprig of rosemary on top of mushroom. Sear veggies for 3 to 4 minutes each side, with the cover closed. Eggplant, zucchini, and red peppers will be ready to be moved off the grill at this point, but check to see if they need longer. Move mushrooms to indirect heat and cook with cover closed for another 2 to 3 minutes.
- If making veggies on stovetop: Heat grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush with some cooking oil. Place veggies onto hot grill pan (cook in batches if needed). Set sprig of rosemary on top of mushroom. Grill veggies for 3 to 4 minutes each side. Everything but the mushrooms should be done at this point, so remove everything but them. Lower heat and cover with foil, and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until mushrooms are tender.
- Save half the veggies and half the pesto for tomorrow’s dinner.
- Toss tomatoes with balsamic vinegar and a light sprinkle of salt.
- Top grilled veggies with pesto and enjoy with summery tomatoes.
