Fusilli with Grilled Mediterranean Vegetable Medley
Tips | Add a pinch of hot pepper flakes to the dressing mixture for a spicier dish. |
Use a nonstick or foil grill pan or line your grill with heavy duty, nonstick foil pierced with holes for easier grilling. |

Cooking Steps
Preheat the grill to medium heat; grease well. Halve the mushrooms if large. Cut the zucchini, fennel ( or eggplant ), onion, red and yellow peppers into thick slices. Whisk the vinegar with the mustard, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and garlic. Whisking constantly, drizzle in the olive oil. Toss the vegetables with 1/4 cup ( 50 mL ) of the dressing mixture.
Arrange the vegetables on the grill in an even layer. Cook, turning occasionally and removing from the grill as needed, for 15 to 20 minutes or until all the vegetables are tender and well-marked. Chop the grilled vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
Meanwhile, prepare the fusilli according to package directions; drain well. Toss the fusilli with remaining dressing, grilled vegetables, chickpeas, Parmesan cheese and parsley until well-combined. Serve warm or cold.
Garnish with diced tomatoes, taste and serve!
Serve sprinkled with freshly grated, Parmesan cheese. Garnish with slices of fresh lemon.
