MARINATED VEGETABLES

 

This is a simple but very typical side dish recipe. All you need are fresh and tasty vegetables and you’ll easily recreate a very healthy Italian dish. Another version that is very common throughout the South of Italy is the “scapece” which uses fried instead of grilled vegetables but the same marinating procedure. In either case you will have a good side-dish for your second courses always at hand, because it can be kept in the fridge for several days.
