1 ear corn

cut into 4 pieces

4 large white mushrooms

4 fresh shiitake mushrooms

1 seeded and quartered bell pepper

2 small yellow summer squash -- halved

1 small red onion -- quartered

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

1/4 cup rice vinegar

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons mirin or Japanese rice wine -- optional

 

Serves 4.

 

Serve these skewers as a vegetarian entree on top of cooked rice, polenta

or couscous.

 

In large self-sealing bag, combine corn, mushrooms, bell pepper, squash,

onion, soy sauce, vinegar, oil and mirin. Seal bag and turn to coat

vegetables evenly. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.

 

Thread vegetables onto 4 skewers, reserving marinade. Place skewers on hot

grill and grill until evenly browned, turning frequently and brushing with

marinade as needed to keep vegetables moist, 5 to 10 minutes.
