Grilled Zucchini with Mediterranean Spices
| 3 medium Zucchini (5-6
oz. each)
2 small cloves of minced garlic
1 Tsp dried oregano
1 Tsp dried, crushed mint
1 Tsp lemon zest (peel)
3 Tbls olive oil (virgin or extra-virgin)
1 tsp liquid smoke
kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
|
Cut zucchini lengthwise into slices
about 1/2 inch thick. brush olive oil on all the top of each slice
and then sprinkle them with the spices. Turn over and repeat. Then
drizzle the liquid smoke and any remaining oil over the slices and
let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium high. Using a pair of tongs, rub the
grill briefly with a cloth (hand towel or washcloth) that has been
dipped in oil. Place the zucchini on the grill directly over the
heat. Generally it takes 5 minutes per side, depending on how soft
or firm you like your vegetables.
Remove from the grill and place on a platter (don't stack the slices).
Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Some people like to drizzle
a tad of olive oil on them just before serving. |
