Grilled Veggie Wraps

The first spring vegetables are so beautiful. Keeping along the lines of Montignac method, this is a fairly healthy dinner for a warm day - although if you serve it with my chimichurri sauce, it will warm you up on a cold day too! Make the chimichurri early in the day so the flavors can blend well.

What you need

  1. 4 fresh spring onions
  2. 2 small yellow summer squash
  3. 1 red bell pepper
  4. 4 medium roma tomatoes
  5. Olive Oil
  6. Kosher salt & black pepper
  7. Chimichurri sauce
  8. Whole wheat wraps of your choice

How to make it

  1. Prepare your grill to medium high heat
  2. Carefully scrape the roots from the onions, keeping them intact - split lengthwise keeping greens attached
  3. Cut squash into halves lengthwise
  4. Cut pepper in half and remove seeds and stems
  5. Leave tomatoes whole
  6. Place all on a foil lined baking sheet and drizzle with oil
  7. Rub oil on all sides and add salt & pepper
  8. When coals are ashed over, scoop most to one side and a few to the other side of the grill
  9. Place onions, uncut side down and grill until lightly charred - turn and grill other side until lightly charred - move to cooler side of grill
  10. Over hot side of grill, add peppers skin side down and squash cut side down - when squash has developed grill marks, turn and cook on reverse with grill covered (just a few minutes)
  11. When pepper skins have charred, turn and cook on cut side with grill covered
  12. As squash and peppers become tender, move over to the cool side of grill
  13. Add the tomatoes last and allow to blacken slightly on each side, but try not to let them split - don't overcook, they should remain fairly firm
  14. When cooked, remove to a tray - cut peppers and squash into strips - cut tomatoes lengthwise into quarters - cut onions with green parts into bite sized pieces
  15. Warm wraps - add a variety of the veggies and top with a couple of spoons of chimichuri sauce

Zucchini and asparagus can be precooked in a covered skillet with a small amount of water for about 3 minutes before placing on the grill.
