Ratatouille On The Grill

Marinating and then grilling gives an already great garden-veggie dish more substance. Leave space between the vegetables on the skewers so that they can cook on all sides.

1/4 cup 59mlRed-wine vinegar
1/4 cup 59mlExtra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons 10mlDijon mustard

1 tablespoon 15mlFinely-chopped fresh rosemary

  Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
  Ratatouille

  And cut crosswise into 1/2" pieces
1   Yellow squash - halved lengthwise, (medium)

Recipe Instructions

Combine the marinade ingredients in a large bowl.

Add the vegetables to the marinade. Season with salt and pepper. Toss well and let rest for 3 hours at room temperature, tossing occasionally.

Thread each type of vegetable on a separate 12-inch skewer, leaving 1/2-inch space between the pieces. Reserve the marinade bowl for later.

Grill the skewers over hot coals, 3 inches from the heat source, for 3 to 5 minutes on all sides, carefully turning. Slide the hot vegetables off the skewers into the bowl in which they marinated and toss with the marinade. Cool slightly. Toss with the parsley.
