ROASTED EGGPLANT, ZUCCHINI, AND CHICKPEA WRAPS
The vegetable filling for this wrap takes its cues from the classic Provencal stew. Soluble fiber in eggplant and chickpeas may reduce LDL ("bad") cholesterol; lycopene in tomatoes can help protect against cancer.

Steps:
- Heat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Grate the garlic into a medium bowl and pour the lemon juice over. Let stand about 2 minutes. Whisk in the yogurt, 2 tablespoons water and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Put the chickpeas in a large bowl. Stir in 1/4 cup of the yogurt sauce and set aside.
- Brush the eggplant slices generously with olive oil on one side and season with salt. Grill oiled-side down until charred, rotating once to char more of the surface, 2 minutes total. Brush oil on the top, sprinkle with salt, flip, and grill until charred and very tender, another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the eggplant to a cutting board, chop roughly, and then stir gently into the chickpea mixture. Taste the mixture and season with salt, if needed.
- To make the wraps, spread 2 tablespoons of the yogurt sauce on one of the tortillas. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the oregano. Form about 1 scant cup of the chickpea mixture into a log across the wrap about 3 inches from the bottom, leaving a 1-inch border on each side. Top with some chopped tomatoes and a little salt, then add some cucumber and lettuce. Fold the sides of the wrap over the ends of the chickpea mixture, then roll up tightly from the bottom. Repeat for the remaining tortillas and filling. Cut each in half on the bias, and serve.
ROASTED BABY EGGPLANT, TOMATO, AND ZUCCHINI
I made this up last night looking for something to do with a bag of beautiful baby eggplants I got. They were purple eggplants, but smallish. They were nice because they did not have a lot of seeds. I did not seed the tomatoes and they were just fine. This is ridiculously good. Way beyond the effort it takes to make it. Tastes nice warm or cool.

Great veggie side dish to roast in the oven or in a foil pan on the grill. I like to prepare it for roasting a couple of hours ahead to let the flavors blend.

Tips:
- Choose firm and fresh vegetables: Look for eggplants and zucchinis that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Chickpeas should also be plump and firm.
- Roast the vegetables properly: Roasting brings out the natural sweetness and flavor of the vegetables. Make sure to roast them until they are tender but still have a slight bite.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade helps to infuse the vegetables with flavor. Use a combination of olive oil, herbs, spices, and citrus juice.
- Wrap the sandwiches tightly: This will help to keep the fillings in place and make them easier to eat.
- Serve the sandwiches immediately: Roasted vegetables are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Serve the sandwiches while they are still warm.
