Grilled Vegetables With Herb Vinaigrette Recipes

HERB VINAIGRETTE FOR GRILLED VEGETABLES

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.

GRILLED HERB VINAIGRETTE WITH GRILLED VEGETABLES

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.

HERB GRILLED VEGETABLES

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.

HERB MARINATED GRILLED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Whisk together all the marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Arrange the vegetables in a shallow dish or plastic container, pour the marinade over them, cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Prepare a grill. Grill the vegetables 6 inches from the heat source until they are tender, brushing them with the leftover marinade as they cook. Cooking times will vary according to the vegetable.
