Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 red capsicum/bell peppers
2 yellow capsicum/bell peppers
2 red onions
1 eggplant (, halved lengthwise, then 1.25cm/ 0.5" thick semi circles)
2 zucchini (, 0.7cm / 1/3" thick slices on diagonal)
2 bunches asparagus (, ends trimmed)
200g/ 7oz button mushrooms
1/4 cup (65ml) extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp each salt and pepper
3 cloves garlic (, minced)
1/4 cup parsley (, roughly chopped (or chives))
1/3 cup (85ml) lemon juice
1/3 cup (85ml) extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp white sugar
2 garlic cloves (, minced)
1/2 tsp each salt and pepper
1/2 tsp each dried basil, parsley, oregano, thyme ((Note 2))
1/2 - 1 tsp chilli flakes ((adjust spice to taste, Note 3))

Steps:

  • Place ingredients in a jar and shake well. Set aside 10 minutes+.
  • Keep pieces large for easy handling on the BBQ (so you don't have to turn hundreds of pieces!) and so they don't fall through the grills.
  • Capsicum/bell peppers - cut the "walls" off, then cut each each on the diagonal into fairly large pieces.
  • Onion (Note 4) - keep the root end (hairy end!) in tact. Peel, cut in half, then cut into wedges through the root end.
  • Brush BBQ grills lightly with oil, then preheat to high. Or oven 250°C/480°F.
  • Place vegetables in a very large bowl or use a big tray. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic. Toss with hands (there is no better way!).
  • Place on BBQ and cook until tender crisp with charred edges - cook times below. Then remove into large bowl.
  • Asparagus, zucchini - grill 2 min each side. (Oven - 10 min, no flipping)
  • Capsicum, mushroom, onion - grill 3 min each side (oven 15 min, flip at 10 min)
  • Eggplant - grill 4 min each side. Jab in middle to ensure soft but not soggy! (oven 18 min)
  • While vegetables are still hot, drizzle over Dressing and toss.
  • Set aside 10 minutes+ before serving, sprinkled with parsley. See in post for serving ideas.

GRILLED VEGETABLES WITH A TANGY SAUCE



Grilled Vegetables with a Tangy Sauce image

These vegetables were fresh and flavorful without the sauce. But, that sauce! The sauce takes these up a level or two. I would suggest marinating the vegetables in the sauce to allow the flavors to meld together a little more. Delicious!!!

Categories     Vegetable Appetizers

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 c apple cider vinegar
1/4 c sorghum (or substitute - see note)
1/4 c olive oil
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (or to taste)
1/2 tsp ground coriander
3-4 c various vegetables cut in large cubes - squash, zucchini, tomatoes, onions, peppers, eggplant, mushrooms
1 skewer for each serving. If using wood or bamboo skewers, soak them first in water for 30 minutes.

Steps:

  • 1. Mix together the vinegar, sorghum, olive oil, red pepper, and ground coriander; a blender makes this very quick. Set aside.
  • 2. Thread the vegetables alternately on skewers, filling skewer as full as practical. Place skewers in a dish to catch drips, and baste well on all sides with the sauce.
  • 3. Heat grill or broiler. Grill vegetables, turning and basting occasionally with more sauce. Cook until done to your liking. Test thick vegetables for doneness with the tines of a fork - the tines should pierce through easily.
  • 4. Serve vegetables with additional sauce, if desired.

GRILLED VEGETABLES WITH SPICY ITALIAN NEONATA



Grilled Vegetables With Spicy Italian Neonata image

Summer squash, bell peppers, eggplant and greens are the stars of this greenmarket grill party. The spicy vibrant finishing sauce is inspired by Calabrian neonata, a preserved condiment made with hot peppers and baby fish. The condiment is often drizzled onto pasta, pizza or grilled bread. Here, briny anchovies, salami and olives season the sauce with salty, meaty notes to contrast with the spicy pickled cherry peppers and cool, crunchy celery. The fiery, tangy dressing, which can be made a few hours ahead, provides a lively boost for the smoky, tender veggies. Leftover neonata keeps for a week and makes a great sandwich topping the next day.

Time 25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Neutral oil, for greasing
4 bell peppers of any color (2 pounds), halved, seeded and sliced into 1-inch strips
3 zucchini (1 1/2 pounds), sliced 1/4-inch thick on the diagonal
3 Italian baby eggplants (1 1/2 pounds), sliced lengthwise 1/4-inch thick
1 1/4 cups extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
3 heads sturdy lettuce, such as romaine or radicchio, quartered through the core
2 tablespoons lemon juice
5 anchovy fillets, minced into a paste
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 ounces sliced salami or soppressata, finely chopped (about ⅓ cup)
1/2 cup jarred sliced hot cherry peppers, finely chopped
1/2 cup pitted manzanilla or Cerignola olives, chopped
2 celery stalks, finely chopped (1 cup)
1/4 cup chopped parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Heat a grill to medium and oil the grates.
  • On two large sheet pans, divide bell peppers, zucchini and eggplant. Drizzle the contents of each sheet pan with 1/4 cup olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper, and toss to evenly coat. In batches, grill the vegetables, turning occasionally, until cut sides are tender and lightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes for the lettuce, 8 to 10 minutes for the zucchini, and 10 to 12 minutes for the peppers and eggplant. Transfer them to one very large (or two large) serving platters as they finish cooking.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine lemon juice, anchovies and garlic; whisk until well blended. And salami, cherry peppers, olives, celery, parsley and the remaining 3/4 cup oil, and mix well. (Makes about 2 cups neonata.)
  • Generously drizzle or spoon some of the neonata over the grilled vegetables. Serve vegetables warm or at room temperature, with the remaining neonata on the side.

MARINATED GRILLED VEGETABLES



Marinated Grilled Vegetables image

You'll always want a batch of these around: From the vegetables you grill to the seasonings you use, this recipe is endlessly adaptable. It also keeps for a few days and has so many applications. After the vegetables come off the grill, they soak in a piquant bath of coarse mustard, shallot and vinegar, though you could adjust flavorings as you wish: Add fresh or dried chile; thyme or rosemary; anchovy or capers; or a protein like feta, cubed salami, tofu or chickpeas. Then, use these deeply flavored vegetables on sandwiches, grilled bread, salads, frittatas, alongside grilled meat or fish, and so on.

Categories     dinner, vegetables, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing
1/4 cup red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 pounds grilling vegetables, such as peppers (bell, shishito, mini), broccoli rabe, broccolini, asparagus, radicchio, fennel, corn, zucchini, eggplant, green beans or snap peas

Steps:

  • Prepare a charcoal grill for two-zone cooking over medium-high heat by pouring the coals onto one half of the grill. For a gas grill, heat all of the burners to high, then turn one of the end burners off before cooking.
  • While the grill is heating, make the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine 3/4 cup oil, vinegar, mustard and shallot. Season with salt and pepper. Cut the vegetables into pieces that are large enough so as to not slip through the grates; for small or slender vegetables, like snap peas or green beans, leave them whole. Pat the vegetables dry, then transfer to a sheet pan, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with enough olive oil to coat.
  • When you're ready to grill, take the marinade, vegetables, tongs and a tightly folded paper towel soaked with olive oil to the grill. Clean the grates with a grill brush, then oil the grates with the paper towel. Grill the vegetables over the flame, flipping occasionally, until well browned and tender, 2 to 15 minutes, depending on the density and size of the vegetables. (For a gas grill, close the lid between flips, listening and keeping an eye out for flare-ups.) As the vegetables finish, transfer them to the marinade. Let the vegetables sit in the marinade for at least 5 minutes. Leftovers will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge. Let come to room temperature before serving.

SWEET-AND-SPICY GRILLED VEGETABLES WITH BURRATA



Sweet-and-Spicy Grilled Vegetables With Burrata image

A colorful platter of soft, grilled vegetables in a sweet and spicy sauce can be the centerpiece of a light summery meal; just add some creamy cheese for richness and crusty bread to round things out. This recipe is extremely adaptable. You mix and match the vegetables, increasing the amounts of your favorites (or the ones you can get your hands on), and skipping anything you don't have. And if your grill is large enough, you can make several different kinds of vegetables at the same time. Just don't crowd them so they cook evenly.

Categories     vegetables, main course, side dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup chopped raisins, preferably golden, or dried apricots
2/3 cup white wine vinegar or cider vinegar (or a combination)
2 tablespoons honey, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon fish sauce or colatura (optional)
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Pinch of fine sea salt
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 to 3 bell peppers, quartered, stems and seeds removed
1 to 2 zucchini or summer squash, sliced diagonally 1/2-inch thick
1 small eggplant, sliced diagonally 1/2-inch thick
2 to 4 ears yellow corn, shucked
8 ounces mushrooms, trimmed and halved or quartered
1 bunch thick asparagus, ends snapped
8 ounces cherry tomatoes, preferably still on the vine
2 small burrata or fresh mozzarella balls, or 2 cups fresh ricotta
Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Basil or mint leaves, for serving
Crusty bread slices

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Put raisins or apricots in a small heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, honey, fish sauce or colatura (if using), red-pepper flakes and salt. Bring to a boil, then let simmer until the mixture reduces slightly, about 3 minutes. Immediately pour over the raisins and let cool. Taste and stir in a little more honey if the sauce is too harsh. (Sauce can be made up to 1 week ahead and stored in the refrigerator.)
  • Prepare the vegetables: Oil the grill grate and light the grill. Have a serving platter at the ready.
  • Grill the peppers, zucchini, eggplant and corn directly on the grate, in batches if necessary, and turning them as needed. Move them around the grate so they cook evenly. Cook until they are lightly charred, watching them carefully, 5 to 12 minutes, depending on the vegetable.
  • To grill the mushrooms and asparagus, place them in a grilling basket if you have one, or put directly on the grill. (Arrange the asparagus perpendicular to the grates so they don't fall through.) Grill, turning as needed, until charred all over, 6 to 10 minutes. Grill the cherry tomatoes, using the vine as a handle if possible, for 1 to 2 minutes, until they start to burst and char slightly. Transfer all the vegetables as they cook directly to the serving platter.
  • Add the cheese to the platter next to the vegetables. Immediately drizzle everything with some of the sauce, stirring it up to get the raisins, and with olive oil. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and pepper and scatter the herbs generously on top. Serve the extra sauce and the bread alongside for making crostini with some of the vegetables and more of the tangy sauce.
