Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

12 bamboo skewers -- presoaked

1 medium eggplant

1 small yellow zucchini squash

1 small green zucchini squash

1 medium green pepper -- seeded

1 medium red pepper -- seeded

1 large onion (Vidalia is good)

12 cherry tomatoes

12 small portobello or white mushrooms

Marinade:

1/2 cup tamari soy sauce

1/2 cup sake (Japanese wine)

2 tablespoons sugar or honey

2 tablespoons canola oil

1 tablespoon dark sesame oil

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

3 cloves minced garlic

 

Prepare the marinade by mixing all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Cut the

eggplant into large, bite-size pieces and place in the bowl of marinade while

preparing remaining vegetables. Cut the squash into ¾-inch slices, and cut the

peppers and onion into bite-size pieces. Leave the tomatoes and mushrooms whole.

 

Remove the eggplant from the marinade. Place the marinade in a medium saucepan

over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until

the mixture thickens. Thread the vegetables on skewers, and grill or broil about

6 inches from heat. Turn once after 5 minutes. Brush with marinade while

cooking.

 

COMMENTS - I [Jan] used to spend a lot of time flipping and brushing while

grilling vegetables, and I always seemed to lose a few slices through the grill.

Now I just thread bite-size chunks on skewers. It makes grilling and basting

much easier, and eliminates casualties.

 

 

The key to great-tasting grilled vegetables is in the marinade. This teriyaki

sauce is one of my favorites. It is boiled down, or reduced, so that the mixture

is thick and syrupy. This way, when it is brushed on the skewered vegetables,

the flavor really sticks.

 

This recipe is also a good marinade for tofu, chicken, fish, or meat pieces.

Marinate the pieces before cooking.
