Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup Swanson® Chicken Broth (Regular, Natural Goodness¿ or Certified Organic)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, crushed
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 large red onion, thickly sliced (about 1 cup)
1 large red or green pepper, cut into wide strips (about 2 cups)
1 medium zucchini or yellow squash, thickly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 cups large mushrooms

Steps:

  • Stir the broth, thyme and black pepper in a small bowl. Brush the vegetables with the broth mixture.
  • Lightly oil the grill rack and heat the grill to medium. Grill the vegetables for 10 minutes or until they're tender-crisp, turning over once during cooking and brushing often with the broth mixture.
  • Tip: A grilling basket is handy for grilling smaller foods like these veggies. Just place the vegetables in a single layer in the basket, close and place on the grill. You can baste the vegetables right in the basket, and flip the basket to grill the other side.

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.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Yield Makes 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 large shallots, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/4 cup drained capers, rinsed
6 tablespoons freshly grated lemon zest plus 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 6 lemons total)
2 cups finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (about 4 ounces)
1 cup finely chopped fresh basil
6 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add shallots and garlic; cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl; let cool. Stir in capers, zest, parsley, basil, and mint. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap; set aside.
  • Blend vinegar, mustard and lemon juice, plus salt and pepper to taste, in a blender until combined. With blender running, pour in remaining 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons oil in a slow, steady stream; blend until emulsified. Just before serving, stir vinaigrette into shallot mixture.

Tips:

  • Choose robust vegetables: Grilled vegetables should be able to hold their own against the bold flavors of the vinaigrette. Vegetables like zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, and mushrooms are all excellent choices.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill: When grilling vegetables, give them plenty of space so they can cook evenly. Overcrowding the grill will cause the vegetables to steam rather than grill.
  • Grill the vegetables over medium heat: Medium heat will help the vegetables cook through without burning. If the heat is too high, the vegetables will char on the outside before they have a chance to cook through.
  • Use a grill basket or skewers for small vegetables: If you're grilling small vegetables like cherry tomatoes or green beans, use a grill basket or skewers to prevent them from falling through the grates.
  • Toss the vegetables in the vinaigrette while they're still warm: This will help the vinaigrette soak into the vegetables and give them extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Herb vinaigrette is a versatile and flavorful dressing that can be used on a variety of grilled vegetables. With its fresh, bright flavors, herb vinaigrette is a perfect way to enjoy your favorite grilled vegetables. Whether you're serving grilled vegetables as a main course or a side dish, herb vinaigrette is a delicious and easy way to add extra flavor and nutrition to your meal.
