Grilled Veggies with Tomato Relish
This dish is full of bold flavors and a beautiful rainbow of colors. Adding hearty Portobello mushrooms turns this side dish into the perfect summertime lunch.
Be sure to core and seed the tomatoes. This will prevent the relish from getting watery.
Chop the relish ingredients into similar sized pieces.
Use a spoon to scrape out the gills, as they can be quite bitter.
Toss all the cut veggies to be grilled with a bit of olive oil and salt and pepper. Grill under tender-crisp. Serve warm with relish or at room temperature.
Grilled Veggies with Tomato Relish
Ingredients
- 2 Portobello mushrooms gills & stem removed
- 4 zucchini yellow and green, cut into ½” slices
- 4 sweet peppers all colors, quartered
- 1 onion cut into ½” slices
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Relish
- 3 cups tomatoes cored & seeded
- ¼ cup Italian parsley minced
- 3 Tbsp dill pickles minced
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 4 tsp red wine vinegar
- 1 Tbsp capers drained
- 1 Tbsp canned green chilies minced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Toss all the veggies with some oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lay on grill in a single layer, turning once char marks appear. Because the veggies have different cooking times, start with the peppers and onions. Once they start to soften add the zucchini and mushrooms. That way everything will be done at the same time.
- For the relish, combine all ingredients until thoroughly mixed. If you can, make this an hour ahead of time to allow the flavors to blend and the mixture to warm to room temperature.
- Serve the relish over the grilled veggies, or on the side.
