Инструкции
- Before grilling, rinse, trim, cut up, and precook vegetables as directed in "Preparations and Timings for Grilled Vegetables". To precook any one vegetable, in a saucepan bring a small amount of water to boiling; add in desired vegetable and simmer, covered, for the time specified. Drain well.
- To grill, brush vegetables with extra virgin olive oil, margarine, or possibly butter before grilling to prevent sticking to grill rack. Cook vegetables on the grill rack directly over medium-warm coals till tender and slightly charred, turning occasionally. Use the following timings as a guide. (Actual timings will differ depending on thickness of vegetables, how warm the coals are, and how far the vegetables are form the coals.)
- Preperation and Timings for Grilled Vegetables:
- Asparagus: Snap off and throw away tough bases and stems. Precook 2 min, then tie asparagus in bundles of 3 or possibly 4 spears with strips of cooked green onion tops. Grill bundles 3 to 5 min or possibly till vegetables are of desired doneness.
- Small carrots: Cut off carrot tops; wash and peel. Precook 3 min. Grill 3 to 5 min.
- Eggplant: Cut off top and blossom ends. Cut crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Don't precook. Grill 6 to 8 min.
- Fennel: Snip off feathery leaves. Cut off stems. Precook whole bulbs 8 min. Cut bulbs into 6 to 8 wedges and grill 8 to 10 min.
- Sweet Peppers: Remove stems. Quarter peppers and remove seeds with membranes. Cut peppers into 1-inch-wide strips. Don't precook. Grill 8 to 10 min.
- Leeks: Cut off green tops; trim bulb roots and remove 1 or possibly 2 layers of white skin. Precook 6 to 10 min, then halve leeks lengthwise and grill 5 min or possibly till tender.
- New Potatoes: Halve potatoes. Precook 10 min or possibly till almost tender. Grill 10 to 12 min.
- Yellow squash (crockneck or possibly straightneck) or possibly zucchini: Wash; cut off ends. Cut each vegetable lengthwise into strips. Don't precook. Grill 6 to 8 min.
- Comments: It seems which these days no cookout is complete without grilled vegetables. Serve them as a side dish for grilled fish or possibly meat, or possibly as an appetizer.
