Grilled Zucchini With Coriander Recipes

GRILLED ZUCCHINI AND FETA TOASTS

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high and brush the grates clean, if grilling outdoors.
• With a small spoon, scrape the seeds from the middle of zucchini halves and discard. Rub zucchini with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place zucchini halves onto grill, cut-sides down, and cook until charred on both sides, turning halfway through, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer grilled zucchini onto a cutting board, let cool slightly then cut into bite-size pieces.
• While zucchini grills, brush bread on both sides with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Grill until lightly charred on both sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter.
• While zucchini and bread grill, prepare the spice oil: Heat remaining 1/4 cup oil in a small saucepan over medium-low until hot. Stir in the garlic, cumin seeds, coriander seeds and red-pepper flakes, and remove from heat. The residual heat from the oil will cook the garlic and spices. Transfer spice oil to a large bowl, add grilled zucchini and toss to combine.
• Spoon zucchini over grilled bread and top with large pieces of feta. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing on top.

MARINATED GRILLED ZUCCHINI WITH FETA AND HUCKLEBERRIES

Steps:

• Place zucchini, cut side up, on a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet. Season with 1 tablespoon salt, flip, and let stand until slightly softened and juices are released, about 1 1/2 hours. Gently squeeze zucchini, extracting as much liquid as possible, and pat dry.
• Meanwhile, preheat grill over medium-high heat. Brush zucchini with 2 tablespoons oil and grill, flipping once, until lightly charred and tender, about 15 minutes total. Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Distribute shallot-and-garlic mixture evenly over zucchini. Sprinkle with coriander seeds, huckleberries, and 1 teaspoon salt. Drizzle with vinegar and remaining cup oil. Marinate mixture at least 1 hour at room temperature or (preferably) up to 24 hours in refrigerator. If refrigerated, bring mixture to room temperature before serving.
• Layer zucchini mixture and feta on a serving platter, drizzle with some marinade, and garnish with coriander sprigs and huckleberries.

SPICE-RUBBED PORK CHOPS WITH GRILLED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• In a large zip-top bag, combine coriander, brown sugar, cumin, and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add pork and 1 tablespoon oil and toss to coat. Refrigerate at least 8 hours (or up to 1 day).
• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high; clean and lightly oil hot grill. Grill pork, covered, about 5 minutes per side for medium. Let rest, covered, 10 minutes.
• Clean and lightly oil hot grill. Toss zucchini with 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill until tender, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Grate 1 tablespoon lime zest, then cut limes into wedges. Transfer half the zucchini to a serving plate and sprinkle with zest and feta. Chop and refrigerate remaining zucchini for Herbed Ricotta Pasta with Corn and Zucchini. Serve zucchini and pork with lime wedges.

PERFECT GRILLED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Preheat grill on medium-high. In a large bowl, toss zucchini with oil, red wine vinegar, parsley, basil, and garlic powder. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper, to taste.
• Once grill is hot, carefully use tongs to rub an oiled paper towel over grates to clean.
• Using tongs, place zucchini on grill. Cover and cook, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking on high, covered, 2 to 3 minutes more
• When zucchini is tender, remove from heat, taste for salt and adjust as needed and eat right away.

BALSAMIC GRILLED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Preheat grill, or a grill pan, over medium-high heat. I like to use my George Foreman Grill.
• Trim the zucchini edges and slice it crosswise into ½-inch-thick rounds.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, kosher salt, black pepper and garlic powder.
• Brush the zucchini rounds with the mixture, on both sides. Set aside any remaining marinade.
• Grill the zucchini slices until just tender, 3-4 minutes on each side. In my dual contact George Foreman grill, I grill 3 minutes on the first side, then 2 more minutes on the second side.
• Brush the grilled zucchini slices with the remaining marinade and serve.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI II

Steps:

• Slice zucchini into 1/4 inch slices. Toss in a bowl with Italian dressing.

GRILLED GARLIC PARMESAN ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Cut the zucchini in half crosswise, then slice each half into 3 slices lengthwise, making 6 slices per zucchini.
• Mix the butter, garlic, and parsley in a bowl, and spread the mixture on both sides of each zucchini slice. Sprinkle one side of each slice with Parmesan cheese, and place the slices, cheese sides up, crosswise on the preheated grill to keep them from falling through.
• Grill the zucchini until the cheese has melted and the slices are cooked through and show grill marks, about 8 minutes.

ZUCCHINI WITH CUMIN AND CORIANDER

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil together in a saute pan, over high heat and add the zucchini.
• Sprinkle the cumin and coriander over the vegetables and toss lightly as they cook.
• Season with the sea salt and black pepper and serve at once, garnishing with the chopped cilantro.

MEDITERRANEAN ROASTED EGGPLANT RECIPE WITH PARMESAN AND CORIANDER

Steps:

• Wash and slice the eggplant into approximately 0.7cm (0.25 inch)
• Put it on a large plate and season with some salt and sprinkle some extra virgin olive oil over the eggplant slices, approximately 2 tbsp. Toss the eggplant slices so that every bit gets some salt and oil. It will look like it is not enough olive oil but don't worry, you don't need much olive oil to grill the eggplant.
• Heat the grill plate (or the BBQ) and cook the eggplant slices for 4-5 minutes on each side, until the eggplant is cooked to your liking.
• Mix gently until all slices are covered with the mixture.
• Sprinkle fresh coriander on top, mix once again and enjoy!

GRILLED ZUCCHINI WITH CORIANDER

Steps:

• Prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderate.
• Stir together oil, coriander, and salt, then brush on both sides of zucchini. Grill zucchini on lightly oiled grill rack, turning over once, until tender, 8 to 10 minutes total. Cut zucchini diagonally crosswise into 1-inch pieces.
