One of the quickest and simplest grilled vegetable recipes is to take a lb. of fresh asparagus(medium-sized) and snap off the tough trunks(the thick end) and discard. Sprinkle some olive oil and same salt onto the asparagus and wrap it in aluminum foil.
Place on the hot grill and cook for 10-15 minutes. Serves 4 happy eaters.
Basic Grilled Corn on the Cob
This is one of the easiest grilled vegetable recipes I've ever seen. Absolutely try this one.
Most people do not believe you can grill corn on the grill like this. They usually think you're a little crazy for doing it this way. But once they taste it they will be believers. It is delicious. And how easy can a recipe get?
Buy as many ears of corn as as you have people. Leave the corn on the cob just the way you bought it, with shucks left on and intact.
Place on a medium fire grill. Flip every so often, making sure corn gets cooked evenly all around and the outer leaves are charred but not burned to the corn.
Remove corn from grill and peel shucks and silk off. Don't worry. The silk comes off surprisingly easy.
Serve corn with butter, salt and black pepper. If you like spicy food replace the black pepper with red cayenne pepper.
Enjoy!
