Just prepared this tonight for Sunday dinner along with grilled steak and everyone absolutely loved it. I didn't have eggplant and only had a Spanish onion so used that instead. Also doubled the amount of lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and rosemary. I used a vegetable basket to save time, and WOW...the veggies were soooo tasty. Thanks, Bec!
