Tangy Marinated Veggies Food

TANGY MARINATED VEGGIES

Steps:

• Chop red onion, yellow pepper, red pepper, and orange pepper. The larger the better! Your veggies will shrink when grilling so typically about 2 inches x 2 inches works great! Place chopped veggies with mushrooms into a large mixing bowl.
• Combine soy sauce, oil, white wine vinegar, sugar, oregano, & basil in a smaller mixing bowl and whisk together.
• Pour the marinade over veggies in a larger bowl and cover with a lid. Gently, toss the vegetables in the marinade.
• Place veggies and marinade in the refrigerator and let sit for 4-6 hours.
• If using wooden skewers; it is important to soak the skewers just prior to grilling for about 20 min. (or follow the skewer package instructions).
• After 4-6 hours, remove the veggies from the refrigerator and begin stacking the veggies onto the skewers. Interchange the pepper colours, onion, and mushrooms. I like to ensure that every skewer has 2 mushrooms at least; as they burst with flavor. (Alternately when in a rush I have omitted the skewers and just tossed the marinated veggies in a grill pain over the BBQ or on the stove..... the flavor is still there but the skewers are more fun!)
• Preheat grill to medium heat (375-400 degrees Fahrenheit).
• Oil the grill gates with a little bit of vegetable oil and silicone brush.
• Grill for a total of approximately 4 min per side; or until veggies appear lightly charred and tender.
• Serve immediately.

• Using a mandoline, shave carrots, shallots, and chile into thin rounds; transfer to bowl with spices. Add vinegar and season with salt. Using your hands, massage mixture 20-30 seconds (this is just to get the flavors to meld faster). Let sit 10 minutes.
• Shave radishes on mandoline into bowl with carrot mixture and add 2 Tbsp. oil. Toss to combine and let vegetables sit another 5-10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, tear baguette halves into 4" pieces and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and bake until golden brown and edges are lightly charred, 5-8 minutes.
