Make the most of the bounty of summer produce and cook summer squash on the grill. Marinate the squash and onion wedges in a mixture of orange and lime juices, olive oil, honey, and a dash of hot red pepper, then serve the veggies with a drizzle of the remaining marinade for over-the-top flavor. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons grated orange rind |
3/4 cup fresh orange juice (about 3 oranges) |
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 3 limes) |
3 tablespoons honey |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper |
2 red onions |
4 zucchini, each halved lengthwise (about 1 1/4 pounds) |
4 yellow squash, each halved lengthwise (about 1 pound) |
cooking spray |
3 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil |
Directions:
1. Combine first 7 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag. Peel onions, leaving root intact; cut each onion into 4 wedges. Add onion, zucchini, and yellow squash to bag. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 1 hour, turning bag occasionally.
2. Prepare grill.
3. Drain vegetables in a colander over a bowl, reserving marinade. Place vegetables on a grill rack coated with cooking spray, and grill for 8 minutes or until tender; turn and baste occasionally with 3/4 cup of the marinade. Place the vegetables on a serving platter; sprinkle with the basil. Serve the vegetables with the remaining marinade.
