Two of my favorite vegetable recipes, to contribute to Robin's request for suggestions!
Jessie's Grilled Summer Squash
(I got this recipe from my friend and tweaked it a bit to suit my tastes)
Yellow squash or zuchinni, cut in 4 inch wedges
Basalmic vinegar (I've used other types when I'm out of Basalmic)
Dill
Salt
Olive oil
Put the squash wedges in a large bowl. Add vinegar to cover. Drizzle in about 1/4 cup of olive oil. Add salt and dill to taste. Marinate for 15 to 20 minutes. Cook on hot grill until tender-crisp, about 5-8 minutes. Sofi calls this "squash pickles". It's the only way my squash-hating husband will eat it!
Greens with Bacon
(My mother always cooks her greens this way and my family loves them, too!)
Fresh greens (kale, collards, mustard, beet or turnip-- to name some possibilities)
Bacon
Vinegar
Salt
Wash and slice enough greens to feed your crowd. Fry up bacon-- one slice per person. Remove bacon to drain. Add greens to the hot bacon drippings (watch out! they'll spit!). Cook until wilted-- about 5 to 10 minutes. Crumble bacon slices into the pan. Drizzle vinegar over each servings and salt well.
