I subscribe to the theory you can grill any veggies. Yesterday I grilled some green beans tossed in olive oil and kosher salt, and then finished them with about a teaspoon of truffle butter before serving. Hit of the party overshadowing some of the best burgers I have ever made (secret is >15% fat content with burgers)

Not vegetables, and you wont be planting them in your garden - but pineapple and bananas are good when grilled.

And where is PyRecipe, when you need it.

Eggplant. Roast the eggplant on the grill directly, turning it, until all the skin gets charred. Roast slow enough so that the inner meat also gets soft. You may have to put it on aluminum foil at the latter stages so it does not disintegrate.

Once roasted, in a side pot - add onions, tomatoes, coriander leaves, and cumin seeds to some olive oil. Once the onions are opaque, add in the inner parts of the roasted eggplant. Add salt and green chillies to taste. Serve with pita bread or Indian rotis/naans.

Makes a great summer BBQ side, or even appetizer.

(an off-topic tangent in an off-topic thread!)

overfloat: bananas and pineapples are vegetables.

I'm so tired of the "tomatoes are actually a fruit" thing. Yes, they are a fruit, but so are lots of other "vegetables". Cucumbers are not only a fruit, they're closely related to watermelon. Anything with seeds inside is a fruit. Peppers! Eggplant! Pumpkin! Squash! Corn! Fruits, one and all!

Perhaps a better distinction would be "sweet vegetables" vs "savory vegetables".

All that being said, I'm not a big fan of cooked / grilled banana. I had some in Mexico and it got a bit too dry and leathery.

I really like grilled pineapple though.

Yes, Texrat, maize is a grain. I stand corrected. An ear of corn isn't quite a fruit, although it almost is...

Wikipedia article

The grains are about the size of peas, and adhere in regular rows round a white pithy substance, which forms the ear. An ear contains from 200 to 400 kernels, and is from 10–25 centimetres (4–10 inches) in length

I am constantly haunted by this question: if I eat a tomato, does that go toward my vegetable quota for nutritional purposes, or my fruit quota? Oh, the sleepless nights!

<brain explodes>

Plus side: no more sleepless nights.
