Grilled Summer Vegetables
Sunday, July 12th, 2009
Now that summer is in full swing, we’ve been grilling at least a couple times a week. I love how little preparation this often requires, and even more how little cleanup there is afterwards! We have a charcoal grill, which does mean it takes a bit longer to “preheat” than when I cook inside. Even if I wanted to spend the money though, I wouldn’t give up my charcoal grill for a gas one — I love the flavor that the charcoal smoke gives to the food, and it’s just never the same on a gas grill. Yes, I know that smokiness is probably giving me cancer, but really, what doesn’t? And it sure does taste good!
These grilled vegetables are a great easy side for some kind of grilled meat. In this case we served them with the sausage left over from the sausage ravioli we made a couple weeks ago. (No, they didn’t sit in our fridge two weeks before we ate them. I’m just a little behind on posting…) They take less than five minutes of preparation (other than the grilling), and what can taste more like summer than zucchini and squash, eaten al fresco?
