Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 large zucchini, sliced in half lengthwise, then thinly sliced into half circles
1 teaspoon herbes de Provence (or just basil, oregano, and marjoram)

Steps:

  • In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, season with salt and cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring to avoid any burning. Add the zucchini, herbes de Provence, and salt, and pepper, to taste and cook an additional 5 minutes, using a wooden spoon or spatula to keep the vegetables from overbrowning. Reduce the heat to low, add a little more oil if needed and let cook for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once it's done, you can turn off the heat and let it sit there on the stove top or just let it cook some more over very low heat; the dish is very flexible.

GRILLED SUMMER VEGETABLES WITH SAVORY AND SWEET SAUCE



Grilled Summer Vegetables with Savory and Sweet Sauce image

When grilling vegetables over an open hardwood fire, the key is to watch for the moment when the juices of the vegetables start to render away. At that point you know you're about 1 minute away from perfectly charred vegetables. Chopped into bites, the grilled carrots, zucchini and yellow squash become little sponges that absorb all the delicious sweet and savory sauce.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup fish sauce
1/2 cup honey
3 cloves garlic, chopped
3 fresh Thai bird chiles, chopped
Juice of 2 limes
Kosher salt
2 carrots, halved lengthwise
2 medium yellow squash, halved lengthwise
2 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise
Canola oil, for brushing
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the savory and sweet sauce: Whisk together the fish sauce, honey, garlic, Thai bird chiles, lime juice and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • For the vegetables: Set up a hardwood fire and let it burn to low-burning embers (see Cook's Note). Set up your grate for direct and indirect heat cooking.
  • Lay the carrots, yellow squash and zucchini on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the vegetables, cut-side down, on the grill grate over indirect heat. Grill the vegetables until tender and lightly charred, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and grill until lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into smaller pieces. Toss the vegetables with the sauce in a large bowl.
