Grilled Vegetables And White Bean Fattoush Recipes

GRILLED FATTOUSH WITH HALLOUMI AND EGGPLANT

Steps:

• For the dressing:
• Prepare a grill for medium heat; oil grate. Grill scallions and jalapeño, turning once, until lightly blistered and crisp-tender, about 2 minutes for scallions and 4 minutes for jalapeño. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly.
• Slice open jalapeño and scrape out seeds (unless you like things very spicy); discard. Coarsely chop chile and scallions. Mix in a medium bowl with olives, pistachios, lemon juice, vinegar, and 5 Tbsp. oil; season dressing with salt and pepper.
• Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.
• Assemble the salad:
• Mix thyme, sesame seeds, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Lightly coat pitas and eggplants with 2 Tbsp. oil; season with salt and rub with thyme mixture. Grill, turning occasionally and moving to a cooler part of grill if needed to avoid scorching, until pitas are golden and crisp and eggplants are browned and tender, 5 minutes for pitas, and 8-10 minutes for eggplants. Transfer to a platter and let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, grill Halloumi until charred and soft, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to platter with pitas and eggplants.
• Tear pitas and Halloumi into chunky pieces, then cut eggplants into bite-size pieces. Transfer to a large bowl and add cucumbers, tomatoes, and dressing. Give everything a good toss to bring it all together; season with salt. Top with mint leaves and dill sprigs.

GRILLED HALLOUMI FATTOUSH

Steps:

• For the dressing: Whisk together the oil, lemon juice, sesame seeds, oregano and Aleppo-style pepper in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the salad: Combine the pita chips, chickpeas, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and onions in a large bowl. Add the dressing and toss well. Let stand while you grill the cheese.
• Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat. Clean and lightly oil the grill grates.
• Brush the halloumi with oil and grill, turning once or twice, until lightly charred on the outside and just softened, about 4 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
• Fold the herbs into the salad and season to taste with more salt and pepper if desired. Transfer the salad to plates or a platter. Top with the grilled halloumi and serve.

GREEN BEAN, SHELL BEAN, AND SWEET ONION FATTOUSH

Steps:

• Prepare an ice bath. Simmer green beans in a pot of salted boiling water until crisp-tender and bright green, about 1 minute. Transfer beans to ice bath, reserving pot of water; let beans cool, then remove and pat dry. Place in a large bowl.
• Return water to a boil. Simmer shell beans until just tender, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to ice bath; let cool, then drain and pat dry. Combine with green beans.
• Heat a grill (or grill pan) to medium. Split each pita in half. Brush both sides of pita halves with oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill pitas, turning once, until golden and crisp, about 1 minute a side. Let cool, then tear into 1-inch pieces.
• Add onion, cucumber, feta, herbs, and pita to beans; drizzle with 1/2 cup vinaigrette and toss well to combine. Season with salt and pepper; garnish with mint. Let stand at least 10 minutes and up to 1 hour before serving.
