Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

THE MARINADE:

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

3 cloves garlic -- minced

2 teaspoons paprika

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/8 teaspoon salt

several grinds pepper

THE SKEWERS:

24 small red potatoes

2 heads garlic

3 medium red bell peppers

6 medium zucchini -- about 7 " long

 

At the height of summer, we tend to do a lot of cooking and eating

outdoors. This dish brings the Mediterranean into our backyard.

 

Serves 6.

 

Cover 12 wooden skewers with water and soak for 30 minutes. Prepare the

marinade by combining all the ingredients and set aside in a high-walled

skillet or dutch oven. Wash the potatoes but leave them whole. (If you

can't find the tiny red potatoes, cut larger ones into halves or

quarters). Separate the garlic bulbs into individual cloves but do not

peel. Add the potatoes and garlic to the marinade and bring to a simmer.

Simmer, covered, over medium heat for 5 minutes.

 

Meanwhile, cut the peppers into 1 1/2 inch pieces and slice the zucchini

crosswise into 3/4 inch pieces. On each skewer, place 2 potatoes, 3

slices of zucchini, 3 cloves of garlic, and 3 sections of pepper.

Alternate the ingredients as you see fit. Grill over medium-high heat

for 12 minutes, turning once midway through.
