Ingredients

- 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Tabasco sauce
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
-
Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, Tabasco sauce, and black pepper. Blend well until the mixture is smooth and uniform in texture.
-
Marinate Vegetables: Add your choice of prepared vegetables to the marinade. Ensure all vegetables are coated evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour. This allows the flavors to meld together, enhancing the taste of the vegetables.
-
Barbecue: Remove the marinated vegetables from the bowl, shaking off any excess marinade. Grill the vegetables on a preheated barbecue or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill until the vegetables are tender and have developed grill marks, usually about 8-10 minutes depending on the type and size of vegetables used.
-
Serve: Once grilled, arrange the vegetables on a platter and serve immediately. Optionally, you can garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added freshness.
Tips and Variations
-
Vegetable Options: This marinade works well with a variety of vegetables such as bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes.
-
Adjust Heat: Control the spiciness by adjusting the amount of Tabasco sauce. For a milder marinade, reduce the amount of Tabasco; for extra heat, increase accordingly.
-
Make Ahead: Prepare the marinade ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. This allows for quick and easy meal preparation when you’re ready to grill.
-
Serve with: Enjoy these marinated vegetables as a side dish to grilled meats, as a topping for salads, or even as a filling for wraps or sandwiches.
