Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 tsp. fresh rosemary, minced
  • 1 tsp. fresh basil, minced
  • 2 tsp. lemon peel
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 fennel bulb
  • 2 Belgian endives, halved lengthwise
  • 1 small zucchini, cut diagonally into 2 inch slices
  • 1 small red onion, cut into 6 slices, 2 inch thick
Cooking Directions:

Purée the first 7 ingredients in a blender until smooth. Set aside. In a large pot of boiling water, parboil the fennel for 5 minutes. Drain. Place all the vegetables in a glass dish, cover with the marinade and marinate for 15 minutes. Prepare an outside grill with an oiled rack set 4 inches above the heat source. On a gas grill, set the heat to high. Add the vegetables to an oiled, wired-hinged vegetable basket. Grill, turning constantly, for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are slightly charred.
