Grilled Homegrown Vegetables!
I had a squash, some tomatoes and an eggplant just begging to be grilled!
This is how I cooked them on my outdoor grill:
I cut the squash and the eggplant in half lengthwise. I cut the tomatoes in half crosswise--see the images in the photo gallery below. I then brushed the prepared vegetables with a mixture of olive oil and balsamic vinegar and pepper.
This is my recipe for grilling these vegetables. I adapted it from a recipe I found in Real Simple magazine.
- 1/2 cup good olive oil
- 2 tablespoons best quality balsamic vinegar~I used blueberry and regular flavors
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Wisk all ingredients together
- Brush mixture on the sliced or cubed vegetables
- Grill 4 minutes on each side on a medium hot grill; brush a few times with the olive oil/vinegar while cooking
Do not be afraid to try different seasonings (like oregano or garlic) in this recipe. But do not leave out the vinegar--it is the reason these vegetables were so very good!
