(Recipe) Wild Rice with Smoked Veggies

[Guest guest]

I made this over the weekend and it's one of my favorite things I've

made so far. The zucchinis were grilled over charcoal and mesquite

wood after they had been marinated in olive oil, lemon pepper and

garlic powder. The onion and bell pepper were done the same way only

they were marinated in Susie's red-hot chile oil dressing

(substituting rice wine vinegar for rice wine and leaving out the

ginger - see the following link for that)
