Most vegetables make excellent subjects for grilling albeit not all. Cooking times vary greatly dependent on the vegetable. Vegetables are delicate, far more so than meats. Whether you grill on gas or charcoal it matters not but remember, smoke from the charcoal greatly enhances the flavor of your vegetables.
How to grill superb vegetables can be summarized into ten simple guidelines:
- Relax, grilling vegetables is easy. The ‘grilling made simple’ rules: clean, soak, dry, cut evenly and then cook quickly; do not overcook.
- Cook on a medium to hot grill; you should be able to hold your hands 3-4 seconds over the fire;, 2-3 seconds and its too hot;
- Different vegetables will take different times, see below and should be cooked in a grill basket; if you haven’t got one then use lightly oiled heavy duty kitchen foil;
- Don’t grill watery or leafy vegetables, many greens, celery and cucumbers are unsuitable for grilling;
- Start by brushing the vegetables with olive oil or melted butter;
- Vegetables are ideal for marinading ahead of grilling, a range of herbs and spices can be used to great effect; remember don’t salt before grilling, salt after;
- Because most vegetables are irregular in shape its important to cut then into even strips so they cook evenly throughout;
- Brush vegetables with olive oil
- Strong vegetables can cut into even shapes/size and then grilled using skewers;
- Vegetables that are ideal for grilling include the following Cooking times are total times:
- Eggplant: Cut off stem, peel, cut in half lengthwise then slice crosswise, minimum 1/2″ thick. Cooking time: 2-3 minutes
