Grilled Herb Vinaigrette with Grilled Vegetables image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 medium carrots, quartered lengthwise
11 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 red bell peppers, halved and seeded
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
2 large leeks, ends trimmed
14 to 16 sprigs flat-leaf parsley
1 jalapeno, seeded and halved
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 medium orange, juiced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium-high.
  • Drizzle the carrots on a baking sheet with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with salt and use a small strainer to sprinkle evenly with the cumin. Arrange the bell pepper halves cut-side up next to the carrots, then drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle with salt and sift with paprika.
  • Cut the outer layer off the leeks and trim and discard 2 inches off the top. Split the leeks lengthwise and rinse the dirt out from the inside layers. Wipe dry and keep them in intact halves. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
  • Grill the vegetables (leeks and peppers cut-side down) in a single layer in a medium-hot area of the grill. Close the lid and cook until you see liquid emerge, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn everything on its second side, then close the lid and cook until the peppers are tender but still hold their shape, 5 to 8 more minutes.
  • Move the peppers to a cooler or foiled area of the grill, then close the lid and let the carrots and leeks continue to cook until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, an additional 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Season the parsley in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place the parsley on a medium-hot part of the grill and cook until fairly charred, 10 to 12 minutes. Chop the parsley finely. Drizzle the jalapeno with 1 tablespoon olive oil and grill until charred, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the jalapeno from the grill and coarsely chop.
  • Combine the red wine vinegar, brown sugar and orange juice in a medium bowl until the sugar dissolves. Whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, the mustard, parsley and jalapeno. Taste for seasoning.
  • Place the leeks on a flat surface and cut each half into 3 even pieces. Cut the peppers in half again. Arrange the carrots, peppers and leeks on a serving platter and top with the dressing.

1 recipe Herbed Balsamic Vinaigrette (recipe follows)
Fresh parsley and fresh basil, to garnish, optional
Crostini (recipe follows)
Crostini:
1 long, thin, good-quality baguette
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt or coarse sea salt to taste
Herbed Balsamic Vinaigrette:
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons mixed chopped fresh basil, parsley, and thyme
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup canola or safflower oil
Herbed Chevre:
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped, or mixed fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, and dill
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
One 8-ounce mild, creamy chevre log

Steps:

  • Grilled Vegetable Antipasto:
  • 1. Brush the grill grates lightly with the safflower oil. Prepare a hot fire on a gas or charcoal grill.
  • 2. Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, and basil in a small bowl until well blended. Brush the zucchini, yellow squash, onion, red bell peppers, and scallions with the olive oil mixture. Place the vegetables on the hot grill and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side until crisp-tender. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 3. Soak the sun-dried tomatoes in 1 cup hot water, covered, about 5 minutes or until softened. Drain and set aside. (Note: Eliminate this step if you are using sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil.)
  • 4. Arrange the grilled vegetables, sun-dried tomatoes, and sliced tomatoes on individual plates or a serving platter. Add a slice of chevre on the side of the vegetables. Drizzle the vegetables with the vinaigrette, and drizzle a little more vinaigrette around the place. Garnish with the parsley and basil. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired, and serve with crostini.
  • Crostini:
  • Makes 25 to 30 crostini
  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
  • 2. Slice the bread on a slight angle into 1/4-inch-thick slices and place on a baking pan in a single layer.
  • 3. Mix together the olive oil, butter, parsley, dill and pepper in a small bowl.
  • 4. Brush one side of each piece of bread with the butter mixture and sprinkle with the salt. Toast in the oven 10 to 15 minutes, until golden brown and crunchy.
  • 5.Let cool completely, then store in an air-tight container up to 1 week.
  • Herbed Balsamic Vinaigrette:
  • 1. Combine the vinegar, lemon juice, herbs, and pepper in a small bowl and stir to mix.
  • 2. Slowly add the olive oil and the canola oil and whisk until all the oil is incorporated. Refrigerate in an air-tight container until ready to use or up to 1 week.
  • Herbed Chevre:
  • 1. Mix the parsley and pepper together on a plate. Roll the chevre log in the mixture, pressing lightly so the seasonings adhere. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill 1 to 2 hours.
  • 2. Remove the log from the refrigerator and unwrap. Cut into 1-inch slices with string, dental floss, or wire. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but you'll need to use about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of dried herbs for every 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs.
  • Taste the vinaigrette before you use it and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more olive oil, vinegar, or herbs.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. The better the olive oil, the better the vinaigrette will taste.
  • Store the vinaigrette in a jar or bottle in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • The vinaigrette can be used on grilled vegetables, salads, or as a marinade for chicken or fish.

Conclusion:

Herb vinaigrette is a versatile and delicious dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're grilling vegetables, making a salad, or marinating chicken or fish, be sure to give herb vinaigrette a try.
