This is a simple as it sounds, I had some beautiful summer squash and what I believe to be a fresh banana pepper from a farm stand. I used a bbq grill pan to hold everything and make my life a little easier. If you don’t have that or a grill wok you can do it all right on the grill, just don’t slice the pepper so small.
2 zucchini, cut into 1/2″ -1/4″ discs Preheat a grill to medium. Toss together the squashes, peppers, seasoning and olive oil. Arrange on a grill pan. Grill for about 3 minutes or until lightly charred with a closed lid. Flip and toss around and grill for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Roughly chop the basil and toss with the vegetables, if you like a gentle spice remove the hot peppers they will have still given a bit of kick to the squash.

Grilled vegatables are one of summer’s gifts and IMO underappreciated…the grill marks are good!
What could be better? And you’ve used fresh basil and zucchini, two of my favorite summer ingredients.
