VEGETABLES
Ingredients
Feel free to substitute your own vegetable preference
3 yellow squash (about 1 pound total), sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick rectangles
3 zucchini (about 12 ounces total), sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick rectangles
3 Japanese eggplant (12 ounces total), sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick rectangles
12 cremini mushrooms
1 bunch (1-pound) asparagus, trimmed
12 green onions, roots cut off
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
Directions
• Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat).
• Brush the vegetables with 1/4 cup of the oil to coat lightly.
• Sprinkle the vegetables with salt and pepper.
• Working in batches, grill the vegetables until tender and lightly charred all over, about 8 to 10 minutes for the bell peppers; 7 minutes for the yellow squash, zucchini, eggplant, and mushrooms; 4 minutes for the asparagus and green onions.
• Arrange the vegetables on a platter.
Notes
• The key to getting those great grill marks is to not shift the vegetables too frequently once they’ve been placed on the hot grill.
Directions
• Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, parsley, basil, and rosemary in a small bowl to blend.
• Drizzle the herb mixture over the vegetables. Serve the vegetables, warm or at room temperature.Read more at: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/grilled-vegetables-recipe.html?oc=linkback
