Vegetable Marinade with Celery Seeds and Mustard
Use your favorite vegetables in conjunction with the following grilled vegetable marinade recipe for great results. Onion, zucchini, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, mushrooms, tomatoes, and eggplant are all good examples of vegetables to use with this marinade and you can thread them on to skewers to make vegetable kabobs. Chop the vegetables into one inch pieces for the best cooking times and so you can handle them easily. It is nice to use plenty of color when making veggie kabob recipes, to make them as appealing and appetizing as possible. Try to use green, red, yellow, and perhaps another color too, so that everybody is tempted to eat these delicious grilled vegetable kabobs.
The following vegetable marinade contains cider vinegar, celery seeds, mustard, cloves, rosemary, red peppercorns and more, for a fresh and lively flavor. If you enjoy making vegetable marinades, you will find this one very easy because you just have to whisk everything together and then add the vegetables. If you want a stronger flavored marinade, you can make this a day or two in advance, to let the flavors in it blend. Save the used marinade to use as a baste while the vegetable kabobs are cooking. Unlike with meat or poultry marinades, you do not have to take care. When you are using marinade as a baste for meat, it can be risky if it has been in contact with the raw meat because bacteria can live in it. When using vegetables, this is not an issue.
Garlic features in lots of different vegetable marinades, as do salt, pepper, and sugar. The cider vinegar has a robust flavor and the celery seeds and cloves add a special touch to this vegetable marinade recipe, which goes nicely with any vegetables you use. You can serve these tasty vegetable kabobs with rice or noodles, with a baked potato or as a side dish to any other recipe you are making. If you are cooking for vegetarians, you can serve couscous, risotto or another kind of grain or grain-based dish on the side, to make it more satisfying and tasty.

Photo Description:
A lot of vegetable marinade recipes are based on olive oil - perhaps most of them. This is because olive oil allows other flavors to blend in it and also because it keeps the vegetables moist and succulent as they cook. Olive oil also has a special flavor, which goes well with vegetables and many other dishes besides. You can get mild or strong flavored olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is nice to use because it is so smooth and aromatic. The above grilled vegetable marinade recipe combines lots of delicious and vibrant flavors to give your grilled veggie kabobs a special and unique touch and to make them irresistible to your guests.
