AMAZING PICKLED AND MARINATED VEGETABLES
Pickled vegetables taste totally delicious. I'm going to give you my personal favorite vegetables and herb combinations - damn simple and they make great presents. Much cooler than turning up with a bottle of wine. Once you've had success with them, have a go at your own variations. You can use one large jar or lots of smaller ones (I prefer smaller ones because once a jar's been opened it will only last for a week or so in the refrigerator).

Steps:
- Make sure you have some small sterilized jars ready to go. Bring the pickling liquid ingredients to the boil in a big pan. Put the pickling marinade ingredients into a large bowl with your chosen herbs and mix well. Slice up your chosen vegetables any way you like, but if it's a larger vegetable try to get the pieces around 1/2-inch in thickness. This way, the flavors and pickling liquid will penetrate sufficiently. Smaller vegetables, like mushrooms or very small onions, can be left whole.
- Place the sliced vegetables in the boiling pickling liquid and leave for around 3 minutes - they'll probably rise to the surface, so keep pushing them down to ensure they are all immersed. Lift the pieces out with a slotted spoon and place them into your bowl of pickling marinade. Toss together - it will smell fantastic.
- Pretty much straightaway, put the hot vegetables and pickling marinade into your sterilized jars, filling them to the very top. Cover the vegetables completely with the marinade and put the lids on tightly. Put the jars aside until they're cool. Clean the jars, attach sticky labels and write the date and the contents on them. Store the jars somewhere cool and dark - it's best to leave them for about 2 weeks before opening so the vegetables really get to marinate well, but if you absolutely cannot wait, you can eat them sooner. They'll keep for about 3 months - but they're so bloody good I'm lucky if the jars last for a couple of weeks in our house!

Steps:
- Blend all ingredients except for the vegetables in a large mixing bowl to make the marinade. Pour in the vegetables and stir them around so that they get initially coated with marinade.
- Marinate the vegetables in the refrigerator for about 2 hours, stirring once or twice.
- Place the vegetables, with all the marinade, in an 9" x 13" (or larger) casserole dish, cover with aluminum foil, and bake on the middle rack in a pre-heated oven at 375-degrees F. for 45 minutes.
- Serve hot.
- TIP: Sometimes the potatoes and carrots I use in this recipe are a little flaccid -- so, to fix that problem, all I do is soak them in really cold water (after they're peeled) for about 2 hours before marinating and they crisp right up!

MARINATED GRILLED VEGETABLES
You'll always want a batch of these around: From the vegetables you grill to the seasonings you use, this recipe is endlessly adaptable. It also keeps for a few days and has so many applications. After the vegetables come off the grill, they soak in a piquant bath of coarse mustard, shallot and vinegar, though you could adjust flavorings as you wish: Add fresh or dried chile; thyme or rosemary; anchovy or capers; or a protein like feta, cubed salami, tofu or chickpeas. Then, use these deeply flavored vegetables on sandwiches, grilled bread, salads, frittatas, alongside grilled meat or fish, and so on.

Steps:
- Prepare a charcoal grill for two-zone cooking over medium-high heat by pouring the coals onto one half of the grill. For a gas grill, heat all of the burners to high, then turn one of the end burners off before cooking.
- While the grill is heating, make the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine 3/4 cup oil, vinegar, mustard and shallot. Season with salt and pepper. Cut the vegetables into pieces that are large enough so as to not slip through the grates; for small or slender vegetables, like snap peas or green beans, leave them whole. Pat the vegetables dry, then transfer to a sheet pan, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with enough olive oil to coat.
- When you're ready to grill, take the marinade, vegetables, tongs and a tightly folded paper towel soaked with olive oil to the grill. Clean the grates with a grill brush, then oil the grates with the paper towel. Grill the vegetables over the flame, flipping occasionally, until well browned and tender, 2 to 15 minutes, depending on the density and size of the vegetables. (For a gas grill, close the lid between flips, listening and keeping an eye out for flare-ups.) As the vegetables finish, transfer them to the marinade. Let the vegetables sit in the marinade for at least 5 minutes. Leftovers will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge. Let come to room temperature before serving.

Steps:
- Whisk dressing ingredients and some seasoning in a large bowl. Heat a griddle pan. Blacken peppers on all sides. Put in a bowl and cover with a plate until cool to touch.
- Griddle the other veg, without oiling, until charred on each side and softening. As they cook toss them straight into the dressing, separating onions into rings. Peel peppers, reserving the juice in the bowl, deseed and cut into strips. Toss in with the rest of the veg, then strain the juice over. Leave everything to cool, then season. The salad can be kept in the fridge for 2 days, but bring it out a few hrs before serving. Then stir through parsley and garlic.

Steps:
- Peel the garlic cloves and tip into a food processor with the thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, salt, peppercorns and oil. Whizz well to release the flavours - alternatively grind dry ingredients using a pestle and mortar then blend in the oil.
- Prepare 900g-1.3kg/2-3lb of assorted vegetables (e.g asparagus, large or baby courgettes, sweet potatoes, aubergines, fennel, red onions, corn cobs, parboiled new potatoes). Halve asparagus lengthways, cut large courgettes into chunks or halve baby ones lengthways. Cut sweet potatoes and aubergines into thick chunks, cut fennel and red onion lengthways into wedges, corn into chunks and potatoes in half lengthways. Mix the vegetables and marinade together and marinate for a couple of hours before barbecuing. Cooking times will vary according to your choice of vegetables and their thickness - keep turning and prodding them and you'll feel when they're done.

MARINATED VEGETABLES
Steps:
- In a kettle stir together the lemon juice, the oil, the broth, the garlic, the red pepper flakes, the salt, the coriander seeds, the thyme, orégano, the sugar, and pepper to taste, bring the mixture to a boil, and simmer it, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Bring the mixture to a boil, add the leeks, and simmer them for 2 minutes. Add the squash and the celery and simmer the vegetables, stirring gently, for 2 minutes. Add the bell peppers and the green beans and simmer the vegetables, stirring gently, for 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and simmer the vegetables, stirring gently, for 30 seconds.
- Transfer the vegetables with a slotted spoon to a shallow baking dish or bowl, boil the cooking liquid for 2 minutes, or until it is reduced to 1/2 cup, and strain it through a fine sieve onto the vegetables. Let the vegetables marinate, covered and chilled, for at least 3 hours or overnight, season them with salt and pepper, and let them come to room temperature before serving.
Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables: Vegetables that hold their shape well, such as carrots, celery, and bell peppers, are ideal for marinating. Avoid vegetables that are too soft or delicate, such as tomatoes and lettuce.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give your vegetables their flavor, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Use a combination of herbs, spices, oils, and vinegars to create a marinade that you'll love.
- Let the vegetables marinate for at least 30 minutes: The longer the vegetables marinate, the more flavor they will absorb. For best results, marinate the vegetables for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Use the vegetables in a variety of dishes: Marinated vegetables can be used in a variety of dishes, such as salads, sandwiches, wraps, and stir-fries. They can also be grilled, roasted, or sautéed.
Conclusion:
Marinated vegetables are a delicious and healthy way to add flavor to your meals. They're easy to make and can be used in a variety of dishes. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, try marinating some vegetables. You won't be disappointed!
