BALSAMIC GRILLED VEGETABLES



Balsamic Grilled Vegetables image

During the summer, we love to cook vegetables on the grill and these balsamic grilled veggies are fabulous! We did marinate them overnight and the veggies really absorbed all the goodness from the balsamic vinegar and soy sauce. The marinade is tangy with a hint of sweet flavor. When grilled, the charring enhances the flavors...

GRILLED VEGETABLES IN BALSAMIC TOMATO SAUCE WITH COUSCOUS



Grilled Vegetables in Balsamic Tomato Sauce with Couscous image

The sweetness of grilled vegetables is balanced by a tart tomato sauce, which mixes perfectly with simple couscous. Preferably use a heavy grill pan. If you don't have one you can use a baking tray beneath an oven grill, or even roast the vegetables in a hot oven and then transfer them to a pan for the last part. But you will get more of the char-grill flavor if you use a pan. If you want to make more or less couscous, just use the same quantity of water as couscous. This dish keeps well, as the flavor of the vegetables seems to grow stronger. It is just as nice served lightly warmed for lunch as hot for a dinner, or use it as a cold dish in a selection of salads.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red bell pepper
1 zucchini
1 small eggplant
1 large sweet onion
¾ cup frozen broad beans
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 cup couscous
1 cup vegetable stock

Steps:

  • Remove the seeds from the pepper, and chop into strips about 1 to 2 inches long. Cut the eggplant crossways into rounds about 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick, and cut each one into 6 to 8 even chunks. Peel the onion, and chop into 8 portions. Trim the zucchini, and cut into thick slices.
  • Heat grill pan over a high heat with a generous splash of olive oil. When it is very hot, add all the vegetables to the pan. Press down occasionally to get grill lines across them. Turn occasionally to prevent burning. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are evenly browned and cooked through.
  • Stir broad beans into the vegetables. Add chopped tomatoes, and vinegar. Simmer for a few minutes while the couscous is prepared.
  • Place couscous into a medium bowl. Add boiling vegetable stock, and stir with a fork. Keep lifting the couscous occasionally to prevent it sticking. It only takes 2 to 3 minutes to become soft. Place couscous in a large bowl or serving platter, and serve the vegetables on top.

Categories     Other Appetizers

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 c olive oil (may need less)
2 large onions (mix it up, red, yellow, green)
4 zucchini - sliced about 1/2 inch thick circles
4 red peppers (any pepper you like - mix it up); stemmed, seeded and quartered
1 eggplant - sliced about 1/4 inch thick circles
3 or 4 carrots slices anyway you like
any other vegetable of your choice (mushrooms, tomatoes, etc.)
1/2 c balsamic vinegar
8 oz goat cheese (or soft cheese of your choice); bleu cheese works great too
kosher salt and pepper to taste
1 handful of pine nuts or nuts of your choice (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Wash and cut all vegetables and cut. Place in a large bowl, plastic Ziploc bag or vessel of choice.
  • 2. Add 1/2 the olive oil, salt, and pepper and mix well. (I have also marinated the veggies in Italian dressing and other combinations). Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  • 3. If grilling outside, preheat your grill to medium-low and brush grate with olive oil. Indoor grill, the same. Place vegetables on grill for 2-4 minutes each side, turn. If roasting in the oven, preheat oven to 350 degrees (I have a hot oven so I usually have it at 325). Lightly coat pan with olive oil and cook until each side has a nice golden brown color; turn.
  • 4. While veggies are grilling/roasting, heat balsamic vinegar in a saucepan and reduce by at least half.
  • 5. Arrange cooked veggies on a platter, top with goat cheese and drizzle balsamic vinegar over the top and nuts (optional).
  • 6. Serve with crunchy bread, warm, soft pita/flat bread.

GRILLED VEGETABLES WITH BALSAMIC GLAZE



GRILLED VEGETABLES WITH BALSAMIC GLAZE image

Categories     Vegetable

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large red capsicum, seeded and cut in 2 cm-wide strips
1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
2 portobello mushrooms, stems removed and caps cut into 2 cm-wide strips
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat grill or barbecue. Lightly coat a grill rack with non-stick cooking spray. 2. Combine capsicum, zucchini, onion and mushroom in a large bowl. Sprinkle with oil and oregano. Toss to coat. Place vegetables on the rack in a single layer 3. Grill or barbecue about 5 cm from heat until vegetables are just crisp-tender and lightly flecked with brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn over; cook until done, about 5 minutes. 4. Arrange vegetables on a platter. Mix the balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Brush over vegetables. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, seasonal vegetables: Fresh vegetables will have the best flavor and texture. If you can, buy vegetables from a local farmer's market or organic grocery store.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. You can use a sharp knife or a vegetable cutter to cut the vegetables.
  • Marinate the vegetables in balsamic vinegar: This will help to add flavor and moisture to the vegetables. You can marinate the vegetables for as little as 30 minutes or as long as overnight.
  • Grill the vegetables over medium-high heat: This will help to caramelize the vegetables and give them a slightly smoky flavor. You can grill the vegetables on a charcoal grill, a gas grill, or a grill pan.
  • Serve the vegetables immediately: Grilled vegetables are best served hot off the grill. You can enjoy them on their own, or you can add them to salads, sandwiches, or pasta dishes.

Conclusion:

Balsamic grilled vegetables are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
