Gingery Grilled Vegetable Marinade

There are many recipes for sesame, soy, ginger marinades. This is my favorite 5 Tastes marinade for veggies. Use it with portobellos, zucchini, summer squash, egg plant, etc.

Ingredients:

  • ½ c. white wine vinegar

  • 1/3 c. light soy sauce

  • 6 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil

  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • 2 large cloves garlic crushed/minced

  • 2 teaspoons pepper sauce

  • black pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Slice the squash lengthwise into 1/2 inch slices.

  2. Wipe portobellos gently with a paper towel and remove the stems.

  3. Marinate veggies 30-60 minutes.

  4. While the veggies marinate, preheat your grill and oil the grates.

  5. Remove the veggies from the marinade and pat dry with a paper towel to prevent flaming on the grill.

  6. Grill veggies and mushrooms for a few minutes each side until tender.

  7. Serve as a great starter, or as a side dish.
