Grilled Peppers with Mushrooms and Onions

The menu for dinner was set . . . . until I opened the fridge’s vegetable bin and saw the peppers.

There they were . . . . a colorful pyramid of green, red, yellow and orange.

 They had been on sale so naturally I  couldn’t help but throw those glossy globes in a plastic bag and put them in the cart.

Unfortunately. . . .  the beautiful peppers  were loosing some of their youthful glow . . . . and as I looked closer. . . .

. . . .I could see some early wrinkles forming.

 I had meant to use them  . . . . but you know how that goes. . . . out of sight . . . . out of mind.  { sigh }  It seemed that the dinner menu would have to change . . . . to include the peppers. 

Rummaging around the vegetable bin some more . . . . I found a package of mushrooms. Great!  It seemed like the recipe was coming together by itself . . . .Grilled Peppers with Mushrooms and Onions.  

It was a good thing peppers didn’t need a whole lot of preparation . . . . just cut them open. . . . scrape out the seeds . . . . . . . and cut into generous pieces.  The mushrooms were easy enough . . . . clean them and slice them. . . . and then peel the onions and cut them into fat slices. This was turning out great . . . .quick and easy and healthy.

Once all the ingredients were in a large bowl . . . . I drizzled olive oil on top and seasoned with Italian Seasoning.  I  put the lid on the bowl. . . .shook up the peppers and other ingredients until the oil and seasoning covered all of the veggies. I didn’t  salt the Peppers, Mushrooms and Onion dish because I didn’t want to draw out any moisture from the vegetables. 

 Once we were ready to make dinner  and the grill was hot at a medium high temperature. . . . I poured the peppers, mushrooms and onions into the grill pan.

 Now at this point my honey took over. He had all ready finished grilling the entree { I will post the name of the entree and the recipe later } so it was time to grill the Peppers, Mushrooms and Onions.   He stirred the veggies occasionally with a wooden spoon. . . . when he thought the veggies were done and the peppers had the proper crunch. . . .

. . . .he took the peppers off the grill. . . . put them in a serving dish. . . . salt and peppered them. 

We like our peppers crunchy so we always make sure not to overcook the vegetables.  

 

Grilling the Peppers with Mushrooms and Onions took about 30 minutes. . . . it was such a colorful side that it made a beautiful accompaniment.  I’ll have to remember to make this dish when we make All Our Way  Grilled Butterflied Chicken, or  All Our Way Perfect Pork Chops .

Tutti a tavola è pronto!
