Grilled Vegetable Panzanella Recipes

Steps:

• Cut one 12-ounce loaf country bread into 1-inch-thick slices. Grill over medium heat until marked, 2 minutes per side; cut into cubes. Cut 1 each zucchini, yellow squash and red onion into 1/2-inch-thick slices; cut 1 red bell pepper into quarters. Brush the vegetables with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and grill until tender, about 5 minutes. Chop the vegetables and toss with the bread cubes, 1 pint halved cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cup torn basil, 1/2 cup olive oil and 1/4 cup red wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Top with shaved ricotta salata.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Make the dressing: Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a bowl.
• Brush the grill with olive oil. Put the tomatoes in a large bowl; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill cut-side down until slightly charred, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet.
• Put the scallions, peppers and zucchini in the same bowl; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Brush the bread with olive oil. Grill the bread and vegetables until charred, about 2 minutes per side for the bread and scallions and 4 minutes per side for the peppers and zucchini. Transfer to the baking sheet and let cool slightly.
• Cut the scallions, peppers, zucchini, tomatoes and bread into bite-size pieces; transfer to the bowl. Add the herbs, salami, dressing and any juices from the baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper and toss.

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal grill with hot coals. Brush the grilling rack with olive oil.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, mustard, vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
• Place the cucumber, tomato, basil and capers in a large bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss together. Set aside.
• When the grill is ready, brush 1 side of the onion slices and the peppers with olive oil. Place them, olive oil side down, on the grill and cook for 4 minutes. Brush the other side with olive oil, turn them over and continue cooking an additional 4 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the grill and place on a cutting board. Slice the peppers 1/2-inch thick, separate the onion rings and add them both to the cucumber mixture.
• Brush the bread slices on both sides with olive oil and toast them on the grill until golden. Add them to the cucumber mixture. Pour the reserved vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss together. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Prepare Grilled Tomatoes.
• Toss 1 bunch scallions with 2 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill over high heat, turning occasionally, until lightly charred, about 4 minutes. Let cool; coarsely chop. Generously brush both sides of 4 thick slices country-style bread (crusts removed) with olive oil; grill over high heat until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Rub with a halved garlic clove and tear into pieces. Toss with scallions, tomatoes, 2 cups arugula, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill or large grill pan for medium heat. Clean and oil the grill grates.
• Grill the corn, turning often to char all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly before cutting the kernels from the cobs. Transfer the kernels to a large bowl.
• Cut the bread into 1 1/2-inch-thick slices. Liberally drizzle both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Working in batches if needed, grill until charred and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board, cut into 1-inch cubes and put in the bowl with the corn.
• Cut the tomatoes. If using large heirlooms cut into 1/2-inch dice. If using grape or cherry heirlooms, halve the smaller ones and quarter the larger ones. Transfer to the bowl with the corn and bread, along with the cucumbers, basil, chives and vinegar. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and taste for seasoning, adding more vinegar if needed. Serve immediately.
