THAI-STYLE GRILLED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium.
• Cut the peppers and eggplant lengthwise into quarters and put into a large mixing bowl.
• Add the garlic and coriander, to a mortar and pestle, and crush them into a chunky paste. Transfer the paste to the mixing bowl with the vegetables. Add the remaining ingredients and toss to coat well. Put on the hot grill and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side.

GRILLED VEGETABLES WITH GINGER AND SESAME

Steps:

• Take the seeds out of the red peppers, then cut each pepper into quarters or large wedges. Slice the zucchini and eggplant crosswise into round slices.
• Mix together the white wine vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, olive oil, sesame oil, garlic and hot sauce in a non metallic baking dish to create the marinade. Place the vegetable pieces into the mixture and stir to mix everything together well. Cover the bowl and place it into the refrigerator.
• Refrigerate the vegetables and allow them to marinate for at least 2 hours before cooking them, turning them occasionally to make sure they are well coated by the marinade. You can refrigerate the vegetables for up to 24 hours before you grill them.
• When you are ready to cook the vegetables, take them out of the marinade and place them on a grilling rack on your barbecue. Grill the vegetables for about 8 minutes, turning them once and brushing with the marinade occasionally.

GRILLED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush the vegetables with 1/4 cup of the oil to coat lightly. Sprinkle the vegetables with salt and pepper. Working in batches, grill the vegetables until tender and lightly charred all over, about 8 to 10 minutes for the bell peppers; 7 minutes for the yellow squash, zucchini, eggplant, and mushrooms; 4 minutes for the asparagus and green onions. Arrange the vegetables on a platter. The key to getting those great grill marks is to not shift the vegetables too frequently once they've been placed on the hot grill.
• Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, parsley, basil, and rosemary in a small bowl to blend. Add salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle the herb mixture over the vegetables. Serve the vegetables, warm or at room temperature.

• For sauce, in medium bowl, combine yogurt, mint, the 1 teaspoon garam masala, 1/2 t salt and cayenne pepper.
• Cover and chill for at least 1 hour to blend flavors.
• In an extra-large bowl, combine zucchini, eggplant, sweet peppers, red onion, oil, the 1 T garam masala, 1/2 t salt and black pepper; toss gently to coat.
• On 16 (10-inch) skewers, alternately thread vegetables, leaving 1/4 inch between pieces.
• For a charcoal grill, place vegetable skewers on the grill rack directly over medium-hot coals (if necessary, grill half of the vegetable skewers at a time).
• Grill, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or just until vegetables are tender and lightly charred in spots, turning occasionally.
• For a gas grill, preheat grill; reduce heat to medium-high, place vegetable skewers on grill rack over heat.
• Cover and grill as above.
• Serve grilled vegetables with sauce.
