These 3 delicious recipes will become the new favorites of your family and friends!

Grilled Vegetables with Balsamic

Ingredients (for 4 people):

• 1 red bell pepper, cut into wide strips
• 1 zucchini, sliced into 1 cm pieces
• 1 eggplant, sliced into 1 cm pieces
• 200 g green asparagus, woody ends removed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey (or agave syrup for vegans)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Brush the vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. In this recipe, we use bell pepper, zucchini, eggplant, and asparagus, but variations are also tasty. Try it with onion rings, mushrooms, halved Brussels sprouts, etc. The possibilities are endless.

Grill the vegetables for 2-3 minutes per side on the hot grill until they have nice grill marks.

Mix the balsamic vinegar and honey to make a glaze, and brush the vegetables with it just before serving. Start with a small amount, as balsamic vinegar can overpower quickly.

Tip: Serve with crumbled feta or vegan feta for an extra flavor dimension. A clove of garlic in the balsamic is also delicious. In that case, we recommend grilling the glaze to remove the raw garlic taste.

Grilled Portobello with Mozzarella

Ingredients (for 4 people):

• 4 large portobello mushrooms
• 2 medium tomatoes, diced
• 1 ball of mozzarella, sliced (or vegan mozzarella)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil, finely chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Remove the stems from the portobellos and brush the caps with olive oil.

Mix the diced tomatoes with garlic, basil, salt, and pepper. Fill the portobellos with the mixture and top with a slice of mozzarella. Or 2. Or 3. Actually, top with mozzarella to your liking, as thick as you want.

Grill the stuffed portobellos on medium heat for 6-8 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the mushrooms are soft. You can optionally place an inverted aluminum tray as a lid over the portobellos to help the mozzarella melt well.

Tip: Garnish with extra fresh basil when serving.

Grilled Pineapple with a Touch of Chili and Lime

Ingredients (for 4 people):

• 1 ripe pineapple, cut into thick slices. A ripe pineapple can be recognized by its sweet smell (at the bottom). Often, the ugliest-looking pineapples are the tastiest, as they have had more time to ripen.
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Preparation:

Mix the brown sugar with the chili powder and sprinkle it over both sides of the pineapple slices.

Grill the pineapple for 2-3 minutes per side on a hot barbecue until they have nice grill marks and are lightly caramelized.

Serve with a lime wedge and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Tip: Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a refreshing dessert.

Enjoy your meal!
