Char-Grilled Mediterranean Vegetables from Burgundy

At The International Kitchen we’re huge fans of fresh produce and love this delicious vegetable dish from our friend Robert Ash, with whom we’ve been collaborating for over twenty years. Robert offers a fabulous cooking vacation and Burgundy wine tour that has long been one of our favorites.
The dish is both beautiful and delicious and pairs perfectly with meat or fish, or can be enjoyed on its own (perhaps with a bit of fresh French bread)
