MARINATED GRILLED VEGETABLES



Marinated Grilled Vegetables image

We camp out often in summer and do a lot of cooking over charcoal. These veggies go great with any grilled meat. Sometimes I also thread brown-and-serve rolls on skewers, brush with melted butter and cook them over the coals for 10-15 minutes. They get all crusty on the outside, yet stay soft in the center. It rounds out a super meal.

POLENTA AND GRILLED VEGETABLES WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE



Polenta and Grilled Vegetables With Roasted Red Pepper Sauce image

This dish is perfect in the spring or summer when vegetables are plenty. It reminds me of a rustic dish you could get at a little Italian eatery. Don't be daunted by the long list of ingredients, the meal comes together quickly. I have a gluten allergy and the polenta satisfies any bread cravings I might have. The dish is also a great vegetarian option, but I swear it will make any carnivore happy :) The vegetables can also be done in the broiler.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup uncooked instant polenta
2/3 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
vegetable oil cooking spray
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme (or oregano)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 asparagus spears, ends trimmed
8 scallions, trimmed
2 small eggplants, trimmed and halved
1 medium yellow squash, cut into 1/3-inch-thick slices
1 cup cherry tomatoes
12 ounces prepared roasted red peppers, drained
1/3 cup vegetable broth
1 large garlic clove, chopped
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, plus extra
fresh basil, to garnish
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a medium-sized heavy saucepan. Add polenta, whisking quickly to combine. Reduce heat to a medium-low and simmer, stirring frequently, until thick- about 3-5 minutes. Whisk in 1/3 cup Parmesan and season with the cayenne pepper and salt. Coat a 9" pie plate with cooking spray and pour the polenta into the prepared pie plate and smooth out the surface and let sit for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat grill (or broiler). Whisk together garlic, thyme, lemon juice, and oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Toss vegetables with the dressing. Coat a grill basket (or cooking tray) with cooking spray and arrange vegetables. Grill vegetables until tender and slightly charred- about 3-5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a platter.
  • Combine all sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Heat broiler, sprinkle polenta with remaining Parmesan cheese. Broil polenta until golden brown- about 2-3 minutes, then slice into 8 pieces. Divide polenta among 4 plates. Top with vegetable, drizzle with sauce and sprinkle with fresh basil.

TUSCAN PASTA SALAD WITH GRILLED VEGETABLES



Tuscan Pasta Salad With Grilled Vegetables image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small head radicchio, halved lengthwise and cored
2 small bulbs fennel, cored and cut into 1/4-inch wedges, plus 1/4 cup chopped fennel fronds
6 assorted baby bell peppers, halved and seeded
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 ounces orecchiette (about 2 cups)
1 15-ounce can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 ounces parmesan cheese, shaved with a vegetable peeler

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Toss the radicchio, fennel wedges and bell peppers in a large bowl with 1/4 cup olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and grill, turning occasionally, until charred and crisp-tender, about 4 minutes for the peppers and radicchio, 6 minutes for the fennel. Remove from the grill and let cool, then cut into small pieces.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente (about 2 minutes less than the label directs). Drain and rinse under cool water; shake off the excess. Transfer to a serving bowl. Add the grilled vegetables, cannellini beans, the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, the lemon juice, parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste; toss. Add the parmesan shavings and fennel fronds and toss gently. Serve immediately or refrigerate, covered, up to 6 hours. (Bring to room temperature before serving.)

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, seasonal vegetables: This will ensure they have the best flavor and texture.
  • Cut vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Toss vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper: This will help them brown and caramelize.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat: This will help prevent the vegetables from sticking.
  • Grill vegetables in a single layer: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Flip vegetables halfway through cooking: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Remove vegetables from the grill when they are tender-crisp: You should still be able to pierce them easily with a fork, but they should not be mushy.
  • Serve grilled vegetables immediately: They are best when they are still warm.

Conclusion:

Grilling vegetables is a healthy and delicious way to enjoy them. By following these tips, you can grill vegetables that are perfectly tender-crisp and full of flavor. Grilled vegetables can be served as a side dish, main course, or appetizer. They are also a great addition to salads, sandwiches, and wraps.
