Preparation:

Make the marinade: in a bowl whisk together the ingredients. In a large shallow glass or ceramic baking dish, arrange the vegetables. Add the marinade, turning the vegetables to coat with the marinade, and let stand, covered and chilled, for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Drain vegetables reserving marinade. Heat grill pan over moderately high heat until hot. Add vegetables and grill, in batches, for 3 - 4 minutes on each side, or until tender. Transfer vegetables to a serving dish, drizzle with remaining marinade and sprinkle with parsley. Garnish with olives and Parmesan shavings.
