Ingredients
Ingredients for 4 first-course servings
Marinade
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) balsamic vinegar
- 250 ml (1 cup) olive oil
- 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp. chopped fresh herbs (tarragon, chives, chervil)
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Antipasto
- 250 ml (1 cup) Canadian Provolone
- 3 Sweet Pepper or Bell Peppers (red, yellow and orange), peeled (optional), seeded and quartered
- 2 zucchini, sliced in half lengthwise and in quarters widthwise
- 2 Chinese eggplants, quartered lengthwise
- 12 Asparagus, peeled and blanched for 2 minutes
Crostini with garlic butter
- 1 baguette, sliced
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) melted butter
- 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp. chives, chopped
Method
- To peel the peppers, grill them on all sides on the barbecue over high heat and peel them when they have cooled. (This step is optional.)
- Combine all the ingredients for the marinade. Divide into two equal parts.
- Cut the Canadian provolone into 1.5 cm (1/2") cubes and marinate in half of the marinade for at least one hour in the refrigerator.
- Brush the vegetables with the other half of the marinade; season with salt and pepper.
- Place the vegetables on the barbecue grill and mark them for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Grill the vegetables in two batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Arrange the vegetables on a serving platter and sprinkle with the cubes of marinated Canadian provolone.
- Cover with plastic wrap and leave at room temperature for one hour. Garnish with the fresh herbs and serve with the crostini (below).
