  5. Remove the really burnt onion skin.
  6. Cut all of the vegetables into nibble sized pieces an place in a large serving bowl.
  7. Squish the garlic from the cloves with a cloth or a palette knife into a small bowl and mix with the garlic pulp.
  8. Add the lemon juice and zest together with the salt, spices and olive oil. Whisk the dressing and mix in with the grilled, chopped vegetables.
  9. Garnish with chopped capers and olives

Variations

Use cumin seeds instead of caraway if caraway is not to your taste.

Add sliced hard-boiled eggs to turn this into a main course.
