Follow our Santana Row Twitter feedThis month at Santana Row Farmers’ Market: Celebrate Summer with Veggies on the Grill!
Summer vegetables are at their peak right now. Bell peppers, eggplant, tomatoes, summer squash, corn and so much more. They’re perfect for grilling because they’re easy to prepare and their flavor is enhanced when they’re grilled. You can cook summer vegetables directly on the grill or make “veggie packets” in aluminum foil and then place on the grill. All they need is a little salt and pepper and a bit of olive oil. You can also add some of the wonderful fresh herbs that are in abundance at the farmers’ market right now. Fragrant basil, cilantro, rosemary, thyme, parsley, or chives, can all be chopped and tossed with your favorite veggies - and don’t forget to add some fresh garlic! Here are some quick veggie grilling times to get you started on the road to the perfect grilled veggies, but check your own cookbook for more details:
Bell Peppers: Cook 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until they begin to shrivel.
Corn on the Cob: Remove husks, wrap in foil. Grill for 20-30 minutes.
Eggplant: (1” thick slices) Grill for 8 minutes.
Mushrooms, whole: Grill 7-10 minutes.
New potatoes: Cut in half, pre-cook for 10 minutes, grill for 10-12 minutes.
Onions: Slice in half, grill for 3-5 minutes directly on the grill.
Zucchini or summer squash: Slice thick, grill for 5-6 minutes.
Don’t forget to check out the weekly Farmers’ Market at Santana Row every Sunday from 10am to 3pm at Piazza di Valencia (near Starbucks & Maggiano’s)
