Hearty Healthy Quick Meal !

Its the Sunday after the annual Karvachauth (no food, no water fast) and M has declared that its not going to be a mundane dinner. So when the masterchef has spoken there is little i can do (or want to do ;) ) to stop him. Here's what we, when i say we, i do all the dirty work like chopping veggies, cleaning kitchen counter, plugging the grill into the power socket; god forbid if there is a blast, M would rather have me roasted. M gets to do all the "delicate" "chef y" stuff like preparing the marinade, adding the spices whipping, i think you get the picture.

M decided to have grilled veggies and kebabs with garlic bread. It took 45 min from start to finish, but i'm sure when we do this the second time, it would take about 30 min because the 45 min included the time when M setup the grill plate upside down, and then, when he setup the grill on the plate upside down as well and when he had to bludgeon a twisted corner of the grill and a little bit of cribbing from me on being given the dirty work.

Yummy in my Tummy !

Here's a quick walk through with pictures :)

1. Prepare the marinade : M mixed olive oil, balsamic sauce, pasta sauce and some black pepper ( adjust the quantities to taste)


Toss the veggies and kebabs with the marinade until they are nicely covered
Plug in the grill ( or get your spouse to do it for you) , we used the basic grill because we had one, but this can be done in a microwave aswell. The grill is much faster !!


Slice up the Garlic bread and toss it into the grill towards the end with some olive oil smeared on the slices

Arrange it nicely on the grill 

Shove it in !

Voila ! the grilled veggies and Kebab are done !!

I was surprised to see that garlic bread gets toasted to perfection in the grill in 2 min !


Set your stage ;)
