The Most Fabulous Grilled Veggies in the World
The 'Grill Wok' is a beauteous invention. It allows your vegetables to get the great flavors that grilling over charcoal imparts, without losing the vegetables between the holes in the grate.
In our house, Otis is the grillmaster, and he has developed this recipe for making vegetables that is simply phenomenal. The other day he made fennel in this style (to accompany grilled monkfish...mmm) and the two of us alone ate two entire bulbs of fennel.
If you want a grill wok they have them at Hannaford for 15 or 20 dollars. Totally worth it!
