SUMMER GRILLED VEGETABLES WITH SHAVED PARMESAN AND HONEY
Ready in: 30 MinTotal time: 30 Min
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise 1/4 inch thick
- 2 medium yellow squash, sliced lengthwise, 1/4 inch thick
- 8 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and caps thickly sliced
- 1 fennel bulb, sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 12 fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
- Salt & Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 ounces Parmesan Cheese, shaved from the chunk of cheese using a vegetable
- peeler or 2 ounces of Parmesan Shavings
- 12 basil leaves, coarsely torn
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high. In a small saucepot, combine the honey and the orange juice. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute. Set aside and keep warm.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the vegetables with enough olive oil to lightly coat and season liberally with salt and pepper. Gently toss.
- Grill the vegetables until nicely charred but still crisp-tender, turning often. (If using thin asparagus spears, add these to the grill last, as they will cook quickly).
- Brush the vegetables with the honey/orange juice mixture and continue to grill for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, brushing the vegetables with the mixture and allowing the honey to caramelize from the heat of the grill.
- To serve, arrange the vegetables on a large platter. Top with shaving of Parmesan cheese and torn basil leaves.
