Preheat a barbeque plate on medium-high. Toss eggplant with 1½ tbs of oil. Brush remaining oil over capsicum. Cook eggplant for 1-2 mins each side until tender. Transfer to a bowl. Cook capsicum for 3-4 mins each side until skin blackens. Transfer to a plastic bag, seal and set aside. Peel off skin.
