Chargrilled vegetables with feta and mint is a delightful and nutritious dish that combines the smokiness of charred vegetables with the creamy, tangy flavor of feta cheese. The addition of fresh mint adds a refreshing note, making it a perfect meal for a warm day or a vibrant side dish for any occasion.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the zucchinis, eggplant, and scallions thoroughly under running water.
- Slice the zucchinis and eggplant lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick strips.
- Trim the scallions, removing any wilted parts and cutting them into 3-4 inch pieces.
- Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
- Zest and juice the lemon, keeping them separate.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, and lemon zest. Mix well.
- Add the zucchini, eggplant, and scallions to the bowl, tossing until all the vegetables are well coated with the marinade. Allow them to sit for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- While the vegetables are marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the marinated zucchini, eggplant, and scallions on the grill.
- Cook them for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and charred to your liking.
- Remove the vegetables from the grill and set them aside on a serving platter.
- Crumble the feta cheese evenly over the grilled vegetables.
- Finely chop the spearmint and sprinkle it over the dish.
- Drizzle the lemon juice over the top for a fresh, tangy finish.
- Serve the chargrilled vegetables with feta and mint warm or at room temperature. This dish pairs well with crusty bread or as a side to grilled meats.
Tips:
- Use a grill pan or an outdoor grill to get the best char marks and smoky flavor on the vegetables.
- Slice the vegetables evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate.
- For added flavor, marinate the vegetables in olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic for 15-20 minutes before grilling.
- To prevent the vegetables from sticking to the grill, lightly brush them with olive oil before placing them on the grates.
- Crumble the feta cheese over the vegetables just before serving to keep its texture intact.
- Garnish with extra mint leaves for a burst of color and freshness.
