4 cloves Grilled Garlic (recipe follows), mashed
4 plum tomatoes, cut lengthwise into halves
1 small red, yellow or orange bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
Olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Recipe



Prepared Grilled Garlic. Place tomatoes and bell pepper over medium-hot KINGSFORD® Briquets on covered grill. Grill tomatoes 2 to 3 minutes per side, removing while warm but still firm. Grill bell pepper 15 to 20 minutes until charred on all sides. Place in large resealable plastic food storage bag; seal. Let stand 15 minutes; remove skin. Remove and discard seeds; cut pepper into 1/4-inch strips. Coarsely chop grilled tomatoes and place in small bowl; add garlic, basil, 2 tablespoons oil, lemon juice, and salt and black pepper to taste. Brush bread lightly with additional olive oil. Grill bread over medium Kingsford briquets until toasted, turning once. Spread each slice with 1 teaspoon kalamata olive spread. Top with tomato mixture and bell pepper, dividing equally.


Note Vegetables can be grilled in advance and refrigerated until ready to use.


Grilled Garlic

Grilling lends a sweet, mellow flavor to garlic, making it an excellent addition to many dishes. Use it more generously than its fresh counterpart. Whenever you grill, place a head or two of garlic at the edge of the coals and grill alongside the main event.

Ingredients
1 or 2 heads garlic
Olive oil


Peel outermost papery skin from garlic heads. Brush heads with oil. Grill heads at edge of grid on covered grill over medium-hot KINGSFORD® Briquets 30 to 45 minutes or until cloves are soft and buttery. Remove from grill; cool slightly. Gently squeeze softened garlic head from root end so that cloves slip out of skins into small bowl. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 1 week.
