A great recipe to use up the summers harvest. Compliments chicken or beef on the grill!

Ingredients:
    1 1/2 pounds zucchini, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
    2 red bell peppers, quartered
    1/4 cup Brennans Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, divided
    2 tablespoons Brennans Barrel-Aged Balsamic Vinegar
    2 teaspoons packed light brown sugar
    2 tablespoons chopped basil


Preparation:

Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas), or heat a 2-burner grill pan over medium heat until hot.

Toss vegetables with 2 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes total. If using grill pan, grill in batches, 10 to 15 minutes per batch. Transfer peppers to a bowl and let stand, covered, 10 minutes.

Peel peppers and cut into 1-inch pieces. Cut zucchini crosswise into 1-inch pieces.

Whisk together vinegar, brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large bowl. Stir in vegetables and basil. Let stand 15 minutes for flavors to blend.
