Make a Grilled Veggie Panini

With summer just around the corner think about vegetables grilled instead of or as an addition to the ribs or a juicy grilled hamburger. Perfect to serve all the vegetarian guests on your guest list.

Ingredients

  • Oil for brushing
  • Portabello mushrooms
  • Yellow squash, sliced lengthwise
  • Zucchini, sliced lengthwise
  • Tomatoes, sliced
  • Red onions, sliced
  • Red wine vinegar
  • Sourdough bread
  • Slices provolone cheese
  • Basil

Steps

  1. Heat grill. Brush vegetables with oil. Make Marinated Grilled Portabellas, squash and zucchini for 2–3 minutes on each side or until well-defined grill marks appear.
  2. Place the onions and tomato slices on top of aluminum foil and place it on the grill to prevent them from falling through the grids.
  3. Use a large mixing bowl and toss all of the grilled vegetables with red wine vinaigrette and allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Dress your sandwich in whichever way you like and divide the vegetables evenly. Grill the prepared sandwich for a few minutes on each side until bread is slightly toasted.
  5. Get a heavy cast iron skillet or covered brick and press the sandwich down on the grill. This gives the sandwich ridges and the bread will grill to a perfect crisp on the outside.
  6. Serve immediately with a nice tall cool drink and your favorite chips.
