Provided by Sommer Collier

Categories     Main     Main Course     Side Dish

Time 57m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup olive oil
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons dijon mustard
3 tablespoons honey
1 ½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound carrots (halved or quartered)
1 pound asparagus (trimmed)
2 zucchini (cut into sixths)
2 yellow squash (cut into sixths)
1 large red bell pepper (cut into ½ inch strips)

Steps:

  • Set out a 1-2 cup measuring pitcher. Measure all ingredients into the pitcher. Whisk until smooth. (Use immediately or cover and refrigerate for later use.)
  • Trim and slice all the vegetables into long strips. This makes them less likely to fall through the grill grates.
  • Place the vegetables on a large rimmed baking sheet. Pour the marinade over the vegetables. Then gently toss the veggies to coat in the marinade.
  • Allow the vegetables to marinate for 30+ minutes. (Or up to several hours.)
  • Meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium heat, about 350 degrees F.
  • Once the grill is hot, place the carrots on first, laying them across the grates so they don't fall through. Let the carrots grill for 3-4 minutes, then flip them over. Then lay the rest of the vegetables on the grill. Grill another 8-10 minutes, flipping once. Remove with tongs.

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.

GRILL SEASONING



Grill Seasoning image

Lately I've seen a lot of recipes that call for grill seasoning. Besides the cost (nearly $5 for a bottle), it's chock full of MSG and other nasties. Taking a tip from Rachael Ray, I've made my own and use it for anything I'm grilling or want to give a grilled taste to. UPDATE: Monstr pointed out there's no MSG in McCormick's grill seasoning. There is, however, hydrogenated oil in it, and MSG can be found in other brands. So read your labels, and if MSG, hydrogenaged oils or the price tag bother you, mixing your own is the way to go.

Time 5m

Yield 4 oz, 7-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons fresh coarse ground black pepper
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together well and store in an airtight container.
  • Use it for anything you're grilling or when you're looking for a grilled taste.
  • Note: Corriander can be replaced with any herb you like. This is the one I hear called for most often. Experiment!
  • Another note: This is a 3:1 ratio, for the most part. Make any amount, just allow for 3 parts pepper, 1 part each of salt, onion powder, garlic powder and corriander, and 1/3 part crushed red pepper flakes. Using tablespoons, this makes enough for 7 or 8 meals under normal usage.

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, cut vegetables into uniform sizes. Smaller pieces will cook faster than larger ones.
  • Choose vegetables that are firm and fresh. Avoid wilted or bruised vegetables.
  • To prevent vegetables from sticking to the grill grate, lightly oil the grate before cooking.
  • Use a high heat setting on your grill to quickly sear the vegetables and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Cook vegetables in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the grill.
  • Stir or toss vegetables occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  • Remove vegetables from the grill when they are tender-crisp and slightly charred.
  • Serve grilled vegetables immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or dressing.

Conclusion:

Grilled vegetables are a healthy and delicious way to enjoy your favorite produce. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily create a flavorful and nutritious meal that the whole family will enjoy.
