Marinated Vegetable Medley Food

MARINATED VEGETABLE SALAD

Steps:

• For the Vinaigrette: add ingredients to a jar with a tight-fitting lid or bowl then shake or whisk to combine. Taste then add more salt, pepper, and/or oil if necessary (this dressing is very tart so add more oil if it's too tart for your tastes.)
• Add vegetables to a very large bowl then dress with 3/4 of the vinaigrette. Toss then refrigerate for 4 hours or up to overnight. Toss with remaining vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper to taste just before serving.

ROASTED GREEN VEGETABLE MEDLEY

Steps:

• Quarter the zucchini lengthwise and then cut in half. Place in a gallon resealable plastic bag along with the trimmed asparagus and green beans.
• Add in the olive oil, garlic, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper. Seal and toss to completely coat the vegetables. Release any extra air from the bag and store in the refrigerator, along with the Parmesan, until ready to roast.
• When ready to roast, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Remove the vegetable mix from the bag and spread it onto a sheet pan. Roast until the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown, 18 to 20 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time. Remove the vegetables from the oven and sprinkle the Parmesan over the top.

ROASTED VEGETABLE MEDLEY WITH ARTICHOKE HEARTS AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Cook green beans in boiling water (or steam in a microwave oven) until bright green color appears, remove from water, and remove pan from heat.
• Put sun-dried tomatoes into the water and let them reconstitute while you assemble the remaining items.
• Mix all fresh vegetables in large baking dish or roasting pan, and add crushed olives, garlic cloves, reconstituted tomatoes, and artichokes (with marinade) and stir well. Add enough olive oil [The oil in the marinated artichokes may be enough; however, extra virgin olive oil does add its own flavor.] to very lightly coat all the vegetables, and a splash of lemon juice (about 1 Tbsp).
• Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste and top with a light sprinkle of marjoram or parsley.
• Bake at 350 degrees on middle or lower rack until all vegetables are thoroughly hot (approximately 20-30 minutes), but not browned.
• If there is any liquid in the baking dish or roasting pan, drain off into a pot or microwaveable dish. Add cornstarch to a little cold water to aid in its dispersion and mix with the drained liquid (about 1 tablespoons of corn starch per cup of liquid). Heat until it thickens (stirring occasionally). Add to the roasted vegetable medley and mix well. This will coat all the vegetables with the full flavor.
