Steps:
- At least an hour before cooking, light the charcoal fire.
- Cut away the stems of the eggplants but do not peel. Quarter and slice them into three-inch sticks. Place the eggplant on skewers. Set aside.
- Roast the peppers on the grill until the skins are blackened and loose. Remove from the grill, place in a paper bag and set aside for 10 minutes. Then peel under running water, discarding the stems, seeds and ribs. Slice lengthwise into strips about one-quarter- to one-half-inch wide. Place the pepper strips in a serving bowl.
- Chop the anchovies and the garlic together to make a coarse mixture. Mix in the olive oil. Add one-quarter cup of this mixture to the pepper strips and stir. Place the eggplant in the remaining marinade while preparing the rest of the vegetables.
- Place the onion quarters on skewers, brush with a little of the marinade and grill until they are browned, almost black. Remove from the skewers, chop roughly and toss with the peppers.
- Brush the zucchini with a little of the marinade and grill. When browned on both sides, remove them and cut into one-quarter- to one-half-inch pieces. Add to the other vegetables.
- Brush the tomatoes with the marinade. Grill them, cut side up, until skins are loose. Remove and cut each half in thirds. Add them, with their juice, to the other vegetables.
- Grill the eggplant sticks until they are well browned on both sides. Add to the vegetables. Mix well.
- Add any remaining marinade to the vegetables. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with the basil and capers. The dish may be served immediately or set aside, but should be served at room temperature.

Tips:
- When choosing vegetables for ratatouille, select firm and ripe specimens. Avoid vegetables that are bruised or have soft spots.
- To ensure even cooking, cut the vegetables into uniform sizes. This will help them cook at the same rate.
- Use a grill pan or a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet for grilling the vegetables. This will help create a nice char and prevent the vegetables from sticking.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the grill pan or skillet. If you do, the vegetables will steam instead of grill.
- Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary. This will ensure that they are all cooked evenly.
- To make the tomato sauce, use a variety of ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. You can also add herbs and spices to taste.
Conclusion:
Grilled ratatouille is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. The vegetables are grilled to perfection and then simmered in a flavorful tomato sauce. This dish can be served as a main course or a side dish. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables.
