Grilled Summer Veggie And Bean Bowl Recipes

GRILLED SUMMER VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Brush the green beans, green onions, red peppers, squash and zucchini with 1/4 cup of the olive oil to coat lightly. Sprinkle the vegetables with salt and pepper. Working in batches, grill the vegetables until tender and lightly charred all over. (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.) Arrange the cooked vegetables on a platter.
• Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, balsamic vinegar, parsley, rosemary and garlic in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the herb mixture over the vegetables. Serve warm or at room temperature.

GRILLED SUMMER BEANS WITH GARLIC AND HERBS

Steps:

• Build a hot wood fire in your grill. (You can do the same with charcoal. If you're using a gas grill, place a few hardwood chunks under the grate over one or two of the burners. Heat one burner on high heat and additional burners on medium heat, adjusting the heat as necessary.) Brush and oil the grill grate.
• Combine 1/4 cup oil and the garlic in a small saucepan and cook over low heat until the garlic is fragrant but not browned, 8 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let cool. Stir in red-pepper flakes, lemon zest and parsley.
• Place beans in a large bowl with the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to mix.
• Arrange beans directly on the grill or in a wire grill basket. Grill beans until charred and crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes, turning with tongs. (You may need to work in two batches, depending on the size of your grill.)
• Return hot beans to the mixing bowl and stir in garlic-parsley oil. Squeeze in lemon juice. Stir in basil and mint leaves and serve.
