On the grill
3 medium orange or red bell peppers (about 1 pound), stemmed, seeded, quartered
4 to 5 slender zucchini (about 1 pound), trimmed, cut lengthwise in half
2 (5- to 6-inch) pita breads, each cut horizontally into 2 disks, or two 6x4x1/2-inch slices country white bread
Olive oil (for grilling)
For the dish
1 (8-ounce) cucumber, peeled, halved, seeded, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
12 cherry tomatoes, each halved
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1 cup (scant) pitted Kalamata olives, halved
1/2 cup (packed) fresh mint leaves

1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 4-ounce piece feta cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (scant 1 cup)
Ground sumac* (optional)
*A fruity, tangy seasoning powder made from ground dried sumac berries; available at Middle Eastern markets and from adrianascaravan.com.

Steps:

  • Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Brush peppers, zucchini, and bread on both sides with oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Grill peppers and zucchini until slightly charred and just tender, turning often, about 6 minutes. Transfer vegetables to foil-lined baking sheet. Grill bread until lightly charred and just crisp, turning often, about 3 minutes. Transfer to sheet with vegetables and cool. Tear bread into 1-inch pieces. DO AHEAD Vegetables and bread can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
  • Cut peppers lengthwise into 1/2-inch-wide strips, then crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Cut zucchini lengthwise in half, then crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Place in large bowl. Add cucumber, tomatoes, green onions, olives, mint, and cilantro and toss to combine. Add bread pieces. Whisk 1/2 cup oil, lemon juice, and cumin in small bowl to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. Add dressing to salad; toss to coat. Add feta and gently mix into salad.
  • Transfer salad to large bowl. Serve, passing ground sumac for sprinkling over, if desired.

1 pound zucchini (about 3 medium)
1 small red bell pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 small garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup couscous

Steps:

Brush zucchini with oil and grill with bell pepper on a lightly oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until zucchini is just tender and pepper is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes on each side. (Alternatively, vegetables may be grilled in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.) Cut zucchini into 1-inch-wide pieces and cut bell pepper into 1/4-inch-wide strips.

With a fork fluff couscous and in a bowl toss with vegetables, garlic paste, and salt to taste.

Grilled Lemon-Pepper Zucchini image

I like to serve this easy summer-vegetable dish with grilled chicken and rice. I suppose you could switch the type of seasonings you use if you'd like a different flavor, or even change up the vegetables to suit your liking.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI, ONIONS, AND RED PEPPERS



Grilled Zucchini, Onions, and Red Peppers image

This is a great recipe to use up all those vegetables that are coming in from the garden about now. Plus, I love to grill, and this just makes it easier to make a complete meal on the grill. These are also good in a pita with garlic mayo or tzatziki sauce! **Prep time does not include the time to get the grill ready for grilling!

  • Serve hot or cold!
