Summertime is great for grilling. I think we all become chefs in our own minds when we grill - which is a great thing. The creative juices flow. Grilling vegetables is wonderful - not only a healthy way to eat vegetables but very flavorful.
You can grill many different vegetables. They should have some sort of firmness to them. Some tried and true veggies are eggplant, zucchini, squashes, portobello mushrooms. You may also want to try leeks, scallions, red onions, vidalia onions. Even a firm tomato is great. I like grilling peaches for salads and pineapple for dessert.
Simple seasonings work for me too. I am all about tasting the main ingredient. I also make an herb rub that I brush on.
In blender combine:
2 peeled shallots
4 cloves garlic
1 cup fresh thyme picked
1/2 cup fresh rosemary picked
2 cups olive oil
2 tsp salt
Blend until smooth.
This will keep for a few days or even freeze.
Very interesting blog! Thanks!
Sounds great. I'm going to try this recipe as well as the corn salad recipe this weekend. Both are perfect for my vegan diet.
Love the herb rub I am going to try it on chicken
I love the menu planning feature
