Method
Slice zucchini2, eggplant3, and tomatoes5 into 1 cm rounds; cut bell4 pepper into 1 cm strips; slice Suluguni1 into 1 cm thick pieces. Salt the eggplant, let sit for 10 minutes, then blot dry.
Mince garlic7 and mix with olive oil.
Heat the griddle over medium heat, brush with garlic7 oil. Grill zucchini2 and eggplant3 3–4 minutes per side until golden and tender.
Add bell4 pepper and tomatoes5, grill 3–4 minutes per side until lightly caramelized; season with salt.
Top with Suluguni1 slices, cover for 1–2 minutes until cheese softens.
Serve immediately, sprinkled with torn basil, with lavash.
Tips
- Why it works
- Salt the vegetables first to draw out moisture, so they caramelize better and don’t steam on the grill.
- Substitutions
- Use feta (100g) instead of suluguni. It melts but may crumble more; swap tomatoes for 80g cherry tomatoes if they’re easier to slice.
- Common mistakes
- Overcooking the eggplant makes it mushy; check by piercing with a fork. It should yield slightly but hold shape.
- Storing and reheating
- Eat fresh; suluguni won’t melt well after cooling, and veggies lose texture in 1–2 days.
- Serve with
- Pair with a simple cucumber-tomato salad for contrast, or serve as a light meal with a glass of chilled white wine.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
