bbq veggie idea's?

[CatPhish]

Not that I don't love meat, but I want to balance our summer meals with some good vegetable sides or even have some main dish bbq vegetables...what are your favs?

Sausages

[Ms.Huxtable]

My favorite BBQ veggies are Eggplant, zuccini and asparagus. Just brushed with olive oil, salt and pepper. so simple, so yummy.

[bradm]

Big thick (at least 1/4") slices of red onion, brushed with olive oil.

Aloha,

Brad

That was the hardest I have laughed in a while. Pure class Booche.

Use my steak marinade on zuchini, peppers, eggplant, asperagus, artichokes, tomatoes, anything really and grill them up. The marinade brings out some nice flavours in the veggies. You can then make the veggies into an antipasto salad by adding some feta or goat cheese, some smoked meat (salmon, proscuitto, parma ham) and some nice fresh herb bread from that little bakery in Byward Market Or just set it up as a platter and it becomes an interactive family dinner.

Ratatouille

Any fresh vegatables you have or want to add, sliced and washed. Mix in a bowl with 3-4 TBSP of EVOO, Salt and Pepper, juice of half a lemon, 2-3 sprigs of chopped fresh tarragon, 1 clove of garlic smashed, 1/2 teaspoon of Chili Flakes and one tomatoe finely diced. Bake in the oven until the veggies turn soft or turn one burner on in the BBQ and bake/smoke on the side that has no flame.

I think there's also a trick where you leave it in the husk, dunk/soak it in water for a while, and just put it on the grill (without foil; it cooks in the husk).

Slice zucchini in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds and fill with goat cheese, cover with fresh basil leaves, wrap in tinfoil, place on grill.

[Hux]

Here's one I was surprised about: carrots.

Use smaller/skinnier ones, olive oil, salt, etc...

If you like carrots done that way, Hux, try parsnips. Either get thin ones, or quarter the thick ones lengthwise, and roast them as if they were carrots.

we had those the other day with douglas and booche- deelish!

[Sarahbelle]

portobello mushrooms! maranade them in some soy sauce and ginger... and then U can break off the steam and throw em on the grill... yummy I want to eat this right now.. haha

[PassedOutGuy]

Cloves of garlic on the open fire in tin foil... mmm the sweetness

[rubberdinghy]

Take all above mentioned veggies, put them on a skewer, marinate, or BBQ sauce....

Delicious any way!

Long purple japanese eggplants, pricked a few times and grilled on low to medium heat for a long time until they're mushy. Peel back the skins and scoop them out, or halve them lengthwise and top with whatever you want. I usually ado about 6 at a time, scoop out all the mush and mix raw minced garlic, cilantro and chiles to make a spicy dip that's great with toasted pita.

Grilled eggplant left in its skin is one of my favorites.

holy fück that sounds good

[MarcO]

here's something magical: green onions on the bbq.

seriously, they change character completely, become so sweet. Just the usual olive oil, s+p and slap 'em on the bbq, not for too long.

We're a big fan too of the peanut satay sauce you can get almost anywhere. Use that as a marinade for skewers of red onion, peppers, eggplant, zucchini.... whatever. Keep basting them (we use tofu for this as well) and this will make you cream your pants.

[MarcO]

of course, I also use the satay sauce on chicken, steak and pork.

That is almost Baba Ganouj, add some cumin, paprika, toasted crushed fennel seeds, olive oil, a diced onion and blend.

BBQ the veggies that you like...I wouldn't recommend BBQ'n the one's you don't like though, you probably won't like them. That's my bit of BBQ wisdom.

[AdamH]

If you have a one of those acessories for your Que that holds veggies, you can do green beans. I like to shock them in boiling water and then toss them with sesame oil and sesame seeds and toss them in the bbq rack.

Even better, get chinese long beans and shock those but leave them at their full length. it would almost look like you were grilling dreadlocks:
