ALTERNATIVE TO GRILLING 

Preheat oven to 450°F. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes per side. Turn oven to broil and broil for 2 additional minutes per side. 

VEGETABLE KEBOBS 

This marinade works wonderfully with sturdy vegetables like eggplant, mushrooms, and peppers. Skewer vegetables together with chicken or make vegetable kebobs as a side dish for a barbecue or roasted fish dinner. Marinate vegetables of choice (Japanese eggplant, large cherry tomatoes, baby peppers or zucchini chunks) for 1-12 hours. Skewer vegetables on kebab sticks or place directly on the grill. Grill on medium-high heat for 5 minutes per side.
