GRILLED & MARINATED SUMMER VEGETABLES

GRILLED & MARINATED SUMMER VEGETABLES image

Yield Serves 4.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bunch green onions, trimmed, leaving some green.
8 brown Italian mushrooms, washed and trimmed
8 stalks of asparagus
1 zucchini, washed, trimmed, and sliced lengthwise
1/4 Cup best quality Olive Oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tsp. salt (very important!!)

Steps:

Prepare all vegetables. In a small bowl, mix oil, garlic, and salt well. Place vegetables in gallon ziploc-style bag with oil, garlic, and salt. Shake bag, massage vegetables so they are generously covered with oil/garlic/salt marinade. Let sit for several hours, turning and massaging when you think of it, until salt is completely dossoved. Heat grill to medium. Place all vegetables on racks, directly over heat. Turn frequently until slightly charred -- about 5 minutes. Move to indirect heat until finished cooking -- about 10 minutes (this is a great time to turn up the heat and cook a few burgers or steaks to medium rare).
