Grilled vegetables with vinegar and orange dressing

Vegan - Grilled vegetables with vinegar and orange dressing by Lucretia I. - Recipia

Grilled vegetables with vinegar and orange dressing are made with zucchini, eggplant, peppers, tomato and onion, marinated in a dressing of vinegar and orange juice. The slices come out with grill marks and can be served warm or cold. I like them at room temperature, not straight out of the fridge. Prep: 20 minutes. Cooking: 18 minutes. Rest: 15 minutes. Total time: 53 minutes. Servings: 4. About 165 kcal and 4 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

For the vegetables

  • 1 medium zucchini (400 g)
  • 1 medium eggplant (350 g)
  • 1 medium tomato (150 g)
  • 1 red pepper (150 g)
  • 1 green pepper (120 g)
  • 1 medium onion (150 g)
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

For the dressing

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 3 tablespoons vinegar
  • 50 ml orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

For garnish

  • 1 small leek (60 g)
  • 15 g parsley

Preparation

1. Cut the zucchini, eggplant, tomato and onion into rounds about 1 cm thick. Remove the seeds from the peppers and cut them into rounds the same way. 2. Oil the well heated grill with 1 tablespoon of oil. 3. Place the zucchini and eggplant on the grill and cook them 3 minutes on each side, until they get grill marks. 4. Cook the peppers and onion 4 minutes on each side, and the tomato 2 minutes on each side, until they soften. 5. Take the vegetables off the grill and put them in a bowl. 6. For the dressing, mix 1 tablespoon of oil with 3 tablespoons of vinegar, 50 ml orange juice, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, the 3 garlic cloves finely crushed, 1/4 teaspoon fine salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper and 1 teaspoon dried thyme. 7. Taste the dressing and, if it is too sharp or too bland, adjust it with a little orange juice or a little oil. 8. Season the vegetables with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, then pour the dressing over them. 9. Let the vegetables marinate for 15 minutes. 10. Arrange the vegetables on a plate and garnish them with the thinly sliced leek and chopped parsley.

Notes

The vegetables keep in the fridge for up to 3 days, in a covered container, and are served cold or at room temperature. If you don't have Worcestershire sauce, use 1 teaspoon of soy sauce (contains gluten). Worcestershire sauce usually contains anchovies, so that version is not vegetarian. Choose firm, shiny eggplant with no soft spots, and a medium zucchini with smooth skin. If the dressing is too sharp, add another spoon of oil, and if it tastes flat, a spoon of orange juice. People are in a hurry to serve straight away, but the 15 minutes of marinating matter. They go well with toast and grilled meat.

Frequently asked questions

What can I use instead of eggplant?

An extra zucchini, about 300 g, grills the same way but comes out softer.

Can I use red onion?

Yes, slice it into 1 cm rounds too and cook it 4 minutes on each side, as you would regular onion.

What if the vegetables stick to the grill?

Oil the grill again with 1 teaspoon of oil and only turn the vegetables when they release easily.

How long do I grill them if I cut them thicker?

For 1 cm slices, add 2 minutes on each side, until they soften in the middle.
