Notes

SERVING SUGGESTION: Grilled eggplant and zucchini. Thinly slice 2 zucchini and 2 Japanese eggplants and lightly spray with oil. Cook on preheated grill for 1–2 minutes each side or until tender.TIPS: You may need to go to a butcher to get a large piece of skirt steak. It is a tougher cut and best served quite rare if cooking on a grill. You can use rump or blade steak instead of skirt. Chop the parsley, basil and capers while the steak is resting. Use crushed garlic from a jar or tube instead of fresh garlic and bottled juice instead of fresh juice.
