1 shallot, minced
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, or more to taste
10 fresh asparagus spears, trimmed to 5 inches

1 bunch green onions, tops trimmed a few inches
1 large red bell pepper, cut lengthwise into 4 sections and seeded
1 large red onion, sliced thickly
¼ cup olive oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

GRILLED SUMMER VEGETABLES WITH TAHINI DRESSING



Grilled Summer Vegetables With Tahini Dressing image

Start up the grill for a crowd-pleasing platter of vegetables from the garden or farm stand. Take care to keep the fire medium-hot, so you can cook the vegetables without letting them become scorched or blackened. A bit of char is nice, of course, but don't try for perfect grill marks. Remove vegetables from the grill when they are just done. They're topped with a garlicky, lemony tahini dressing that serves as a perfect accompaniment.

Categories     vegetables, main course

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 cup tahini, at room temperature and well stirred
3 tablespoons lemon juice
Pinch of ground cayenne
2 garlic cloves, grated or pounded to a paste
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup plain yogurt (not Greek-style yogurt)
Kosher salt
2 medium red onions, peeled
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 ripe red bell peppers or other peppers, such as Corno di Toro
2 pounds zucchini, yellow summer squash, pattypans or a combination
2 medium eggplants (or 4 small Japanese eggplants)
4 small tomatoes
Paprika or pimentón, for garnish (optional)
Chopped mint, dill, parsley and cilantro, for garnish
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the tahini dressing: Put tahini, lemon juice, cayenne and garlic in a small mixing bowl, and whisk until smooth. Whisk in olive oil, yogurt and a good pinch of salt.
  • Prepare a charcoal or gas grill, or a stovetop grill pan. Heat should be medium-high. Make sure grill racks are clean.
  • Cut onions crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Brush lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise. Remove stems and seeds, and discard. Cut each half in two, making eight pieces. Brush lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet or roasting pan.
  • Cut zucchini and eggplant lengthwise or at an angle into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Brush slices with olive oil on both sides, and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet or roasting pan.
  • Cut tomatoes in half crosswise. Brush lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet or roasting pan.
  • Grill onions and peppers (they take longer to cook): Set onion slices carefully on grill so they don't fall apart. Start peppers skin-side up. Peppers and onions should take 4 to 5 minutes per side. As they are done, remove to a serving platter.
  • Grill zucchini and eggplant for about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Grill tomatoes on one side only, until heated through, about 5 to 6 minutes. As they are done, remove to a serving platter.
  • Arrange vegetables in rows on the platter (or use two platters). Serve warm or at room temperature. Just before serving, drizzle tahini sauce over the vegetables. Sprinkle with paprika, if using, and shower with green herbs. Serve lemon wedges on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose firm vegetables: Vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, and carrots hold up well on the grill and won't fall apart. If you're using softer vegetables like tomatoes or mushrooms, cut them into larger pieces so they don't get too mushy.
  • Preheat your grill: A hot grill will help your vegetables cook evenly and prevent them from sticking. Aim for a temperature of around 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Oil your vegetables: Before grilling, toss your vegetables with a little olive oil or cooking spray. This will help them brown nicely and prevent them from drying out.
  • Season your vegetables: Don't forget to season your vegetables before grilling! You can use a simple combination of salt and pepper, or try a more complex seasoning blend. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or chili powder.
  • Grill your vegetables in batches: Don't overcrowd the grill, or your vegetables won't cook evenly. Grill your vegetables in batches, and make sure to give them plenty of space.
  • Cook your vegetables until they're tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of vegetable you're grilling. Cook your vegetables until they're tender, but still have a little bit of a bite to them.
  • Serve your vegetables immediately: Grilled vegetables are best served immediately, while they're still hot and flavorful. You can serve them as a side dish, or use them in a variety of other dishes.

Conclusion:

Grilled vegetables are a healthy and delicious way to enjoy your favorite veggies. They're perfect for summer cookouts, or you can make them indoors on a grill pan. With a little bit of planning and preparation, you can easily grill vegetables that are tender, flavorful, and full of nutrients.
