How do you cook zucchini in grill?

There aren't a lot of vegetables that you can grill but these are a few of my favorites.

Corn on the cob- grill in the husk until light browning of the husk, check inside often to avoid drying out.

Potatos whole with skin- wrap in foil and set in coals or on rack at least 30 minutes before starting meat, when you can push in on the outside and it feels soft it is done.

Potatos cut up with skin or without- make pan out of foil or use a foil pan and add potatos, butter, seasoning ( I use paprika, grilling salt, and garlic ) cover and grill for about an hour, check periodically, soft is done. For the home made pan use more foil and seal the edges and curl upward so butter does not leak out into grill. Butter is there for flavor and to prevent sticking, you can use non stick spray.

Shish-ka-bob- get skewers cut meat into large cubes as well as red, green, yellow peppers, large onions and whatever veggie you like and alternate on the skewer stacking meat then veggies. The meat will help keep veggies moist until meat is done.

Just for a kicker I'll throw in my recipe for authentic salsa.

Taught to me by an old Mexican man.

Get tomatoes, tomatillas ( little green tomatoes with a brown outer skin ), white onions, chiles, jelapenos.

Start out with a few of the chiles and jelapenos and build up the hotness as you go.

On the grill with high flame ( rub half onion on the grill ) scorch the skin of the veggies except for the onion, just a quick blackening, you want to cook the skin but not the inside. Then while still hot take the skins off. ( that was the whole purpose for the grilling) the skins will easily slide off now and put all into a bowl. Dice onion up very small and using the bottom of an empty beer bottle smash everything together until liquidy ( no large pieces should remain )

Enjoy

I grill all sorts of veggies. Grilled mushrooms are awesome. Wrap them in foil with butter and set them on your grill out of the way while you cook your steaks, burgers, ect.. The mushrooms will be done when the other foods are. I grill squash whole, onions whole, and turnips whole and they are great, but the best on the grill is stuffed zuchinni. Get a large green zuchinni, take a pearing knife or fillet knife and hollow out the zuchinni removing all seeds. Stuff with browned taco meet and shredded cheese or boudan. Place on grill until zuchinni begins to get soft on the outside. Slice into half inch round discs and serve.JN
