Ingredients
- 2 cups diced eggplant, (1½ cm dice)
- 1 cup red or orange capsicum, (or ½ cup each), cut in 1½ cm dice
- 1 cup diced onion, (1½ cm dice)
- 1/2 cup diced yellow squash, (1½ cm dice)
- 1/2 cup diced zucchini, (1½ cm dice)
- 3 tbsp olive oil, plus additional for brushing plancha
- 2 tbsp Basque-Inspired Rub
- McCormick Adjustable Grinder Sea Salt
- 1 ½ cups diced plum tomatoes (1½ cm dice)
- 6 (120g each) skinless firm white fish fillets
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Directions
- Place all vegetables, except tomatoes, into a large bowl with 3 tablespoons olive oil; toss gently to coat. Sprinkle vegetables with 1 tablespoon Basque Rub and season with sea salt, toss gently to coat. Set aside. Place ¾ cup of the tomatoes into a food processor and process until smooth. Set aside.
- Heat plancha (flat cast-iron griddle) on grill over medium-high heat. Brush plancha lightly with additional olive oil. Place seasoned vegetables on the plancha and cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until nicely charred and tender-crisp, turning occasionally. Add the pureed tomatoes and remaining diced tomatoes to the vegetables and stir until heated through. Remove vegetables from plancha. Keep warm. Reduce heat to medium.
- Season both sides of fish with remaining 1 tablespoon Basque Rub. Brush plancha lightly with more oil. Place fish on plancha. Cook fish on both sides until fish is lightly charred and flakes easily with a fork (about 10 minutes per 2.5cm thickness of fish).
- Serve fish with plancha grilled vegetables and garnish with parsley.
