I did artichokes on our little flat top griddle. So yummy. I cut them in half, cleaned out the icky hairy stuff by the heart and then steamed them until they were 3/4 the way cooked. Then placed them cut side down on the griddle.

I can't wait until it is warm enough that I can talk DH into lighting up the grill.

love protobella mushrooms, all types of veggies from corn to zucchinie and eggplant. MMMMM I getting hungry. Oh we love the black bean burgers too. I have never done fruit but will have to try it.

Oh and lily I just found out I looooove artichokes.

When I was growing up(in omni family) we loved to bake potatoes and onions wrapped in aluminum foil. They come out sooooo yummy but works mostly only with charcoal grills of course those are cheaper for one that would be using it for only veggies. Id imagine sweet potato comes out just as well.

Of course there is always the occasional soy burgers etc that could be grilled on it too??

I love grilling.

I found a grill wok, and it is wonderful.. it is squarish with holes on the bottom and sides, non stick.. washes up wonderfully.
Last time i used it i cut up fresh asparagus, zucchini, mushrooms, small carrots in slices. I used a simple vinegar marinade with some garlic and onion seasoning.
On the Kabobs, i put the large mushrooms, used small cherry/grape tomatoes and large chunks of onion & peppers.
the marinade i used is very tasty-

Soy Ginger Marinade - great for kabobs on the grill.
1/4 c of honey
1/4 c of olive oil
1/4 c of soy sauce (braggs )
1/4 c of lemon juice

1 tsp of grated fresh ginger
1 clove of garlic, minced
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp rosemary - optional

combine the ingredients. Marinade veggies for kabobs. I marinaded them for about 45 min. as i was preparing corn to grill and the other veggies
for the wok. I did not have the ginger - so i skipped it, & i love it that way too. my hubby is not fond of the rosemary, so sometimes i skip that too..

Grilling in the wok is great for smaller veggies as they steam, and get nice and tender too. no need for huge chunks.. yummy.

Enjoy!!

We love grilled romaine! Just slice it in half and season.
