Hot off the Grill

Summertime is when I love to live, play, and cook outside.

I was tired of all my indoor recipes so Michael and I spent a week having all meals "a la grill!"

This Disney fave became one of my faves:

Roasted Tomatoes

Stuffed with Grilled Ratatouille

Ingredients:

4 large tomatoes

Ratatouille

1 med. red onion-cut crosswise into 1/3 " slices

1 med. red bell pepper-cut into flat pieces

1 med. zucchini-cut lengthwise in 1/3" slices

EVOO

black pepper

2/3 c grated mozzarella

1tbs freshly chopped basil

1ts balsamic vinegar

1. Prepare the tomatoes:

Cut 1/2 " slice off the top and cut round the fleshy inside. Scoop out the flesh leaving about 1/2" border of tomato goodies. Lightly salt the inside, turn them upside down to rest on a paper-towel lined plate.

2. Grab your "Little Chef" and put him under your hat. It is time to prep the Ratatouille!

Brush the onions, peppers, and zucchini with your EVOO. Salt and Pepper to taste.

Place the yummies on the grill over Direct Med. Heat for 8-12 min.

Once the are kissed by the fire, cut into 1/3" pieces. Add the veggies to a bowl with the cheese, basil, and vinegar. Give it a good mix.

Spoon Ratatouille into tomatoes.

3. Grill tomatoes over Indirect Med. heat for 8-12 min. until the cheese is melted.

Voila!

Little Chef Returns with a delish summer dish!
