Vegetarian grilling - Nicola Hill

Grilling vegetables brings out their natural flavour, and many vegetables are suitable for grilling, especially Mediterranean types. Grilling is becoming popular in vegetable cookery, and vegetables can be grilled from above, under a conventional grill, or from below, on a barbecue. This is also a healthy way to cook: it is so quick that the nutritional content is retained, and as vegetables contain little fat all that is needed is a brush of extra virgin oil or flavoured oil. This is a collection of over 60 recipes for grilling vegetables, most of which are quick and simple to prepare. The majority are simply grilled vegetables in their own right, although some include grilled vegetables within the recipes, such as Eggplant, Tomato and Haloumi Cheese Tart, Grilled Vegetable Lasagne, and Grilled Pepper and Onion Tart. Other recipes would be suitable as accompaniments to meat, fish and poultry. There are also recipes for sauces, dressings, oils, marinades and butters for serving with the recipes.
