Grilled Peppers Onions Recipes

GRILLED PEPPERS AND ONION

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (375 to 450 degrees). If using the grill basket, place it on the grill while preheating. Or, fold a large piece of aluminum foil in half and prick several holes in it with a fork, then fold up a 1-inch rim around the edge to make a makeshift tray.
• Cut the peppers into 1 1/2-inch wide strips. Cut the onion into wide strips and separate the layers with your fingers. Place them in a bowl and mix with the olive oil and kosher salt.
• Grill in the grill basket or on the foil tray for 15 to 20 minutes until tender, turning the vegetables a few times to ensure even cooking.

GRILLED BALSAMIC FLANK STEAK WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Generously season steak with salt and pepper. In a large resealable bag, combine vinegar, Worcestershire, mustard, brown sugar, and oil. Rub rosemary sprigs between your palms for a few seconds to release oils, then transfer to bag. Add steak, onion, and bell peppers; remove excess air from bag, seal, and shake until marinade evenly coats meat and vegetables. Refrigerate at least 12 hours and up to 2 days.
• Remove steak and vegetables from refrigerator 1 hour before grilling. Preheat grill for direct-heat cooking. Brush grates with oil. Using tongs, remove steak from bag, allowing excess marinade to drip back in. Grill, turning a few times, until charred in places and a thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 125 degrees for medium-rare, 8 to 12 minutes, depending on thickness. Transfer to a plate; tent with foil and let stand at least 10 minutes before slicing. Meanwhile, remove vegetables from marinade and grill, turning a few times, until charred in places and tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Toast bread on grill just until charred and crisp in places, about 1 minute a side. Thinly slice steak; serve with vegetables and bread.

GRILLED SAUSAGES, ONIONS AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Build a fire in your grill, leaving one side free of coals. When coals are covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for 5 to 7 seconds), you are ready to cook. (For a gas grill, turn all burners to high, lower cover and heat for 15 minutes, then turn burners to medium.)
• Meanwhile, toss peppers and onions with oil and sprinkle with salt. Lightly prick sausages all over so that they do not burst.
• Put peppers and onions in a grill basket or directly on the grill, turning occasionally until they are softened and dark at the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Move them to the side of the grill without coals.
• Place the sausages on the hot side of the grill, cover and cook, turning occasionally until they are cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Transfer the peppers and onions to a platter and top with the sausages. Drizzle with olive oil and serve.

GRILLED EGGPLANT, PEPPERS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Prepare a bed of hot coals in a charcoal grill, or heat a stovetop grill to medium-high. Arrange eggplants, onions and peppers on a baking sheet. Paint vegetables lightly on both sides with olive oil.
• Working in batches, grill all vegetables on both sides until softened and lightly charred, about 5 to 6 minutes per side. When all vegetables are cooked, chop them into rough chunks and place in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil and the vinegar. Season well with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Add capers and toss again.
• Transfer mixture to a serving dish and sprinkle with oregano and crushed red pepper. Serve at room temperature.

GRILLED PEPPERS & ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high (400-450°F). Brush bell peppers and onions with 1 tablespoon olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Oil the grill grates by partially soaking a few paper towels in canola oil and using tongs to quickly wipe the grates. Place the vegetables on the oiled grates; grill, covered, until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving platter.
• Whisk vinegar and remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a small bowl. Drizzle over the grilled vegetables. Garnish with basil, if desired.

GRILLED BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Take several bell peppers, cleaned of the stems and seeds. Cut into strips lengthwise. These can be four to six depending on the size of the peppers and your preference.
• Season LIGHTLY with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Brush both sides of the strips with good olive oil.
• Place skin side down on hot grill, until skin blisters and peppers soften (3-8 minutes depending on grill). You can let the skin brown a bit if desired.
• Turn peppers and grill until inner side is done (about half the time of the skin side -- 2-4 minutes).
• Try this with different color peppers. Maybe add a few green onions.
• Try this with Anaheim peppers -- Very good!
• Try adding sliced zucchini, too.

GRILLED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium heat.
• Peel outer layer off onions. Slice a small section off of one end of each onion, and make a small hole in the center. Fill the center of each onion with a bouillon cube and 2 tablespoons butter or margarine. Replace the top of the onion, and wrap in aluminum foil.
• Place onions on grill over indirect heat, and close the lid. Cook for 1 hour, or until tender. Remove the tops, and cut into bite size chunks. Place in a serving dish with all the juices from the foil.

GRILLED LAMB WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat broiler, if using.
• Cut the whole onion into julienne strips, and saute in hot oil in nonstick pan.
• Mince garlic, and add to onion.
• Wash, trim, seed and julienne the bell peppers, and add to onions.
• Wash, trim, seed and mince the jalapeno, and add to vegetables.
• Wash, dry and trim the lamb, and cut into inch-wide slices about one-quarter inch thick. Prepare stove-top grill if using. Grill or broil lamb until pink, about 5 minutes.
• Drain and rinse the beans. Stir into vegetables with salt and pepper, and cook a couple of minutes.
• Wash, dry and chop cilantro. Arrange vegetables on plate and top with strips of lamb. Sprinkle with cilantro, and serve with bread.

GRILLED SAUSAGES, PEPPERS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for two-zone cooking over medium-high heat. (For a charcoal grill, pour the coals on one side. For a gas grill, heat all burners covered on high, then reduce one burner to medium-high and turn off the other. If your grill has three burners, reduce the outer two to medium-high and turn off the middle.)
• Meanwhile, remove sausages from the package to come to room temperature and to air-dry. In a large bowl or baking dish, toss the peppers and onions with olive oil, salt and pepper to coat. Lightly brush the interior of the rolls with olive oil.
• Clean and oil the grates. (Dip the trimmed end of the onion in oil and use it to grease the grates). Place the peppers and onions over the flame (direct heat) and place the sausages where there is no flame beneath (indirect heat). Cover and cook, flipping occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and charred in spots and cooked through, 14 to 20 minutes. (To keep all of the juices in, insert the thermometer into the ends of the sausages as opposed to pricking the sausage casing.)
• To the now-empty bowl or baking dish, add the vinegar, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and oregano, if using. Season with salt and pepper. As the vegetables finish cooking, add them to the bowl and toss to combine. Move the sausages to direct heat and cook, turning often, until charred and crisp, 2 to 4 minutes. (Cover if using a gas grill.) Transfer to the bowl of vegetables to rest for a few minutes. Grill the cut sides of the buns over direct heat until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Divide the peppers, onions and sausages between rolls.

GRILLED MIXED PEPPERS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Soak wooden skewers 20 to 30 minutes. Heat a grill to medium. Skewer the white and red onion slices, passing the skewer through each layer; skewer the green, red, orange, and yellow peppers. Place the skewered vegetables, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl, and turn the vegetables until they are coated.
• Place vegetables on grill, and cook until lightly charred, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer vegetables to a cutting board. Cut peppers into 1/2-inch-thick slices, and remove skewers from onions. Transfer vegetables to a serving platter.
