What's your favorite veggy?
Answers:
Zucchini! (italian Squash)
You can cook with other vegetables in olive oil,
use it in a stir fry, add it to pasta, even eat it with
chocolate as certain recipes show online.
This is my fav:
Grilled Vegetable Focaccia
SERVES 6 to 8
If you don't have to time to make your own focaccia, look for the bread in Italian bakeries or your supermarket.
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
2 large red sweet peppers
1 medium eggplant, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
2 medium zucchini, halved crosswise and sliced
1 recipe Focaccia with Herbs (see recipe above) or purchased focaccia (about 1 12-inch round)
4 ounces soft cream cheese
In a small bowl combine the oil, vinegar, and oregano. Set aside. Cut the peppers in quarters. Remove the stem and seeds. Arrange all vegetables on a grill rack directly over medium-hot coals; brush with the oil mixture. Grill, uncovered, until slightly charred, allowing 8 to 10 minutes for the peppers and eggplant, and 5 to 6 minutes for the zucchini. Turn occasionally.
Cut each 9-inch Focaccia with Herbs into 2 layers. (Or, if using a 12- or 13-inch focaccia, cut in half. Cut halves into 2 layers to form 4 layers total.) Brush the cut sides with oil mixture. Spread the cream cheese over the bottom layers of focaccia; top with the eggplant, red pepper, zucchini, and the top halves of the focaccia. To serve, cut into wedges.
