RATATOUILLE ON A SKEWER

Grill these Mediterranean-style vegetable skewers alongside steaks or chops. The bread crumbs and Parmesan form a crisp, golden crust.

1 small eggplant, peeled, if desired, and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 medium zucchini, cut into 1-inch chunks
2 green and/or yellow sweet peppers, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 small onions, peeled and quartered
1/2 cup French salad dressing
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
16 cherry tomatoes

Alternately thread eggplant, zucchini, pepper, and onion pieces on eight skewers. Brush with salad dressing. Combine Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs; place on a piece of waxed paper. Roll kabobs in crumb mixture to coat lightly.

For a charcoal grill, place filled skewers on the grill rack directly over medium coals. Grill, uncovered, for 10 to 12 minutes or until zucchini is crisp-tender, turning frequently. Place two tomatoes on the end of each skewer for the last 2 minutes of grilling.

For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place the skewers on the grill rack. Cover and grill as above.

Makes 8 servings.
