Try this heart-healthy recipe when you want something light from the grill. Pair it with a value-priced wine like McManis Pinot Noir ($8.99 at Cool Springs Wine & Spirits).
Ingredients
1 small eggplant, cut into 3/4 inch thick slices
2 small red bell peppers, seeded and cut into wide strips
3 zucchinis, sliced
6 fresh mushrooms, stems removed
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
Directions
1. Place eggplant, red bell peppers, zucchinis and fresh mushrooms in a medium bowl.
2.
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, basil and garlic. Pour the mixture over the vegetables, cover and marinate in the refrigerator at least 1 hour.

Place vegetables directly on the grill or on skewers. Cook on the prepared grill 2 to 3 minutes per side, brushing frequently with the marinade, or to desired doneness.
