Ingredients

  • For garlic
  • 1 head garlic
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • Pinch black pepper
  • For vegetables and vinaigrette
  • 1 medium eggplant cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
  • 3 ears corn
  • 1 pound plum tomatoes halved lengthwise
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 scallions thinly sliced
  • 1 cup baby arugula
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

Instructions

  • Preheat the a gas or charcoal grill on medium high heat.
  • Slice the top off the garlic, so the cloves are visible. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. On a piece of aluminum foil, grill the garlic cut side down for 3 minutes before wrapping it in a loose foil packet. Move to a cooler spot on the grill over indirect heat. Grill for 25-30 minutes until the cloves are tender.
  • While the garlic is cooking, toss the eggplant, corn and tomatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Grill the corn until it is lightly charred about 5-7 minutes. Grill the eggplant and tomatoes until they have grill marks, the eggplant is tender and the tomatoes are juicy, about 4 minutes per side.
  • When they are cool enough to handle, slice the corn off the cobs and roughly chop the tomatoes, discarding any loose skins.
  • In a small bowl, mash 2-3 garlic cloves into a paste. Whisk in the white wine vinegar, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the eggplant, corn, tomatoes, scallions and arugula and fold in the garlic vinaigrette.

Notes

Extra garlic cloves can be used as a spread on bread, in pasta or on pizza.
