Sweet Sauce For Vegetables Food

GRILLED SUMMER VEGETABLES WITH SAVORY AND SWEET SAUCE

Steps:

• For the savory and sweet sauce: Whisk together the fish sauce, honey, garlic, Thai bird chiles, lime juice and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
• For the vegetables: Set up a hardwood fire and let it burn to low-burning embers (see Cook's Note). Set up your grate for direct and indirect heat cooking.
• Lay the carrots, yellow squash and zucchini on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the vegetables, cut-side down, on the grill grate over indirect heat. Grill the vegetables until tender and lightly charred, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and grill until lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into smaller pieces. Toss the vegetables with the sauce in a large bowl.

VEGETABLE SWEET SAUCE

Steps:

• After butter has melted, add other ingredients, mix well & pour over vegetables. I usually marinate for at least 15 minutes & then grill basting occasionally until done.
