Recipe Story

Everybody loves to grill although not everybody wants a burger or steak. When fresh vegetables are being picked from local gardens, one of the best ways to enjoy them is from the grill. Chef Michael shares with you how he makes his simple and delicious grilled vegetable sandwich. The bread used here was a French baguette, alternatively a fresh Kaiser bun or focaccia bread would be fantastic. *If wild fennel is not available near you, dill would be the best substitute. I am fortunate enough to have a large plant growing just outside the restaurant with my rosemary, thyme, mint and garlic. See step by step photos at www.food-travels.com

I am grilling yellow/freen half and half coloured zuchini Red Stockton Onions, and eggplant tonight all from my garden with some sprays of roasted garlic olive oil. Love this stuff! Little sea salt and a fresh gind of pepper-perfect for a hot day. It was 99.9 deg F at 6:30 PM today so it certainly was over 100 deg F as we are shadowed by the Las trampas mtn range.
