Twitchy's Fire Roasted Veggies - Twitchin Kitten - 05-29-2008
This is my own creation. I came up with it when trying to figure out something with lots of flavor that goes well with any red meat or fish.
You'll need one of those grilling 'pots' that has handles and a ton of holes in it so the flavors are grabbed by the grill!
Twitchy's Fire Roasted Veggies
Ingredients: *all measurements are "by eye"!*
Yellow Squash
Zucchini
onions
cherry tomatoes
green beans
red pepper
green pepper
yellow pepper
Olive oil - light
Salt & pepper to taste (optional really)
Old Bay Seasoning
Cut your veggies in BIG uneven chunks. Try to use an even amount of each veggie. Place all the veggies as you cut them in a BIG bowl.
Drizzle olive oil on them - just enough to coat them evenly, don't drown it! Add your spices and the Old Bay should be added liberally! This is the flavor burst you are looking for!
Put all this in your "holey pan" and place on the grill on medium heat on the top shelf or on low on the bottom shelf. Grill until veggies are tender tossing them around in the pan OFTEN. The oil will drip through the holes and antagonize the flames to 'lick' the veggies - this is a GOOD thing! You want to see some blackening on the tips of the veggies! More flavor!
Be careful to watch this closely and not let them get dried out.
Serve as a side dish with your meal.
IF you have a BBQ rotisserie and a basket to use with it, by all means toss the veggies in the basket and let the rotisserie do the work for you!

It made me happy to see you say that "blackening" is good
...Fresh veggies are abundant right now & this recipe sounds wonderful...I think I should go in search of a holey basket.
