I was looking for a side dish to go with ribs and other grilled meats. I decided to take a traditional casserole and grill the vegetables to give the dish an extra layer of flavor. It turned out really well and I had a number of folks ask for the recipe. Here you go.
2 ears of corn
4 zucchini, halved lengthwise
4 yellow squash, halved lengthwise
1 yellow onion, halved
3 cloves garlic
Cajun spice to taste
2 Tablespoons Olive oil
2 eggs
2 cups bread crumbs
1 cup white cheddar cheese
½ cup Parmesan cheese
Toss all veggies and corn in oil. Grill over medium heat to get a slight char on all the veggies. Remove from heat and let cool. Chop all veggies into 1/2 inch chunks, dice grilled onion and mince garlic. Add veggies, onion and garlic to a large Dutch oven, ½ cup breadcrumbs, ½ cup cheddar cheese, ¼ cup Parmesan, eggs and spice to taste. Mix everything together and top with the remaining breadcrumbs and cheeses.
Place Dutch oven on a bed of coals and top with charcoal, cook for 20 – 30 min. If cooking indoors, bake in Dutch oven for 20 min at 350.
