It's too hot to cook inside so you head for the grill with your Easy Entree. Complete your meal by grilling some vegetables. It's surprisingly simple and oh so tasty. You and your kitchen remain cool as a cucumber.
Speaking of cucumbers, they don't grill well. Actually, any vegetable with a high water content doesn't do well - celery and leafy greens included.
Focus on red and green peppers, onion wedges, asparagus (have you seen the beauties in the store?!), corn on the cob, portabello mushrooms, and eggplant if you're feeling adventurous.
1. Clean the grill.
2. Wash the veggies.
3. Cut into chunks or wide strips or whatever makes them easy to work with. You may want to use a grill pan or skewers so the vegetables don't fall through the grates on your grill.
4. Brush them with a nice olive oil.
5. Sprinkle with some herbs or spices if you wish, even if it's just Kosher salt and coarse-grind black pepper.
6. Grill 2 - 3 minutes per side or until they are done to your preference.
While you're cooking outside, make dinner special by throwing a blanket on the grass under a tree and gathering the family for a picnic in the backyard. It's amazing how much cooler it is in the grass. And your family will enjoy seeing your inner child appear unexpectedly.
All my best,
