Alternative Preparation Method: Grilled Greek Veggie Mix
Ingredients:
- 4 bell peppers (red, green, yellow, or a mix)
- 2 large zucchinis
- 1 large red onion
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions:
- Preheat the Grill: Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are covered with ash and are medium-high heat.
- Prepare the Veggies: While the grill is heating up, prepare your vegetables. Wash and clean the bell peppers, zucchinis, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Cut the bell peppers and zucchinis into thick strips, ensuring they’re large enough not to fall through the grill grates.
- Marinate the Veggies: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss the prepared vegetables in the marinade until they’re well coated.
- Grill the Vegetables: Carefully place the marinated vegetables directly on the grill grates. Grill them for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they develop grill marks and become tender. The exact time may vary, so keep a close eye on them.
- Assemble the Salad: Once the vegetables are grilled to perfection, transfer them to a serving platter. Let them cool slightly. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the warm veggies, allowing it to melt slightly.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish your Grilled Greek Veggie Mix with fresh basil leaves. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of Mediterranean flavor. Enjoy!
Tips for making Greek Veggie Mix
Cooking Tip
- Â Optimal Veggie Slicing: To ensure even cooking, slice your vegetables into uniform sizes. This helps in achieving that perfect balance of tenderness and char when grilling.
- Marinating Magic: Give your veggies time to soak up the flavors by marinating them for at least 15-30 minutes before grilling. This enhances the taste and juiciness.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Grill: One of the common grilling mistakes is overcrowding the grill. Leave enough space between veggies on the grates to allow proper airflow and even cooking.
- Perfect Grill Marks: To achieve those appetizing grill marks, avoid moving the veggies around too much. Let them sit for a few minutes before flipping.
- Adjust Grilling Time: The grilling time may vary depending on your grill’s heat and the veggies’ thickness. Use your judgment to get them to your preferred level of char and tenderness.
Serving Suggestions
- Classic Pita Wrap: Fill warm pitas with Grilled Greek Veggie Mix and a dollop of tzatziki sauce. It’s a delicious handheld meal.
- Mediterranean Salad: Serve the veggies over a bed of fresh greens with Kalamata olives, cucumbers, and a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice.
- Mezze Platter: Include the Grilled Greek Veggie Mix alongside hummus, falafel, and stuffed grape leaves on a mezze platter for a Mediterranean feast.
- As a Side: Pair this dish with grilled chicken, lamb, or seafood for a complete Mediterranean-inspired dinner.
