The only thing that I didn't like about this recipe was the lemon juice... It had too much of a tangy flavor that it worked against the vegetables. Other than that it was delicious!:)
Charred Summer Vegetables
Serve with simple grilled pork, chicken, or fish. Add the vegetables to a hot cast-iron skillet, cover, and cook 5 minutes without stirring so the natural sugars caramelize and add flavor.
