Super Simple Luscious grilled vegetables

"The idea for this recipe was purloined from a recipe out of the Northwest Palate magazine. I think the real secret is that the vegetables steam in their own juices . . .and the cheese was just an added plus!! The ingredients listed were what I used the other evening, because that's what I had in my refrigerator, and drew rave reviews from our guests. USE YOUR IMAGINATION and experiment with other combinations -- even mushrooms could be added."

  1. Nice combination of vegetables & easy to make. I used fresh basil & tarragon also, however, I don't think I added enough cause I didn't find the flavours come through. I didn't have goat cheese so used crumbled feta & that was great. Thanks for sharing.
     
  2. This recipe should be tried by a lot more chefs. It's a true winner. It really delivers the flavor. I was pleasantly surprised just how much so and also that 10 minutes on a hot grill really did cook these packets to perfection. I had on hand fresh snow peas, potatoes, onions,green,red,orange and yellow bell peppers, serrano chiles, baby zucchini and patty pan squash and fresh herbs. This recipe really needs to be accompanied by good bread to soak up those marvelous juices.

I learned to cook at home as a child and it's been a hobby of mine ever since. Although I can get creative, I steal most of my ideas from the one hundred or so cookbooks I have accumulated through the years, or attempting to copy wonderful meals I find in restaurants.
