30 Day Picture Shenanigans - Day 21

30 Day Picture Shenanigans - Day 21: Broccoli

Broccoli...on a grill!

So, this is my new favorite way to cook broccoli.  I believe I've posted about grilled veggies before.  I still don't know how my family is so awesome that I can go to the farmer's market, grab random in-season veggies, oil 'em up and throw them on the grill and that they let is pass as dinner.  It's amazing.  Anyway, last time we had grilled veggie dinner we were trying out this grill basket, so I was throwing whatever I had in the fridge into it and onto the grill.  (We discovered that this particular device sucks, since it has parallel bars instead of a bunch of little squares.  Stuff falls through all the time unless you cut it just right.)  Anyway, I put broccoli into it and it was so fricking delicious.  Tonight I decided to just rub the whole broccoli heads with olive oil and sea salt and chuck them right on the grill grate.

Hot broccoli

Mmm...grilled veggie dinner.  (Don't you love the color of my dishes?)

Result: delicious!!!  Even the fat stem parts were tender.  The grilling makes the broccoli taste a little sweet and smoky.  (The crispy bits are the best, by the way.)  Try it!
