MARINATED GRILLED VEGETABLES



Marinated Grilled Vegetables image

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.

Categories     dinner, vegetables, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing
1/4 cup red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 pounds grilling vegetables, such as peppers (bell, shishito, mini), broccoli rabe, broccolini, asparagus, radicchio, fennel, corn, zucchini, eggplant, green beans or snap peas

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.

Provided by Bone Man

Categories     Potato

Time 2h45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lbs potatoes, medium-sized, peeled and halved
6 carrots, peeled and cut into thirds
2 medium onions, peeled and halved
3 celery ribs, cut into 3-inch lengths
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons prepared mustard (I like Heinz)
1 teaspoon garlic salt
2 tablespoons malt vinegar (or balsamic vinegar)
1 teaspoon dried sweet basil leaves
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder, tomato flavored (look in Mexican aisle at grocery)
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

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!

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest vegetables possible. This will ensure that your marinated vegetables are flavorful and crisp.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color and flavor to your dish. Some good options include tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, onions, and zucchini.
  • Make sure to slice your vegetables evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. There are many different marinade recipes to choose from, so find one that you like and that complements the vegetables you are using.
  • Marinate your vegetables for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This will give the marinade time to penetrate the vegetables and add flavor.
  • Cook your vegetables over medium heat. This will help them to cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve your marinated vegetables immediately. They are best when served fresh.

Conclusion:

Marinated garden 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. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give marinated garden vegetables a try.
