Cook Vegetables Before Grilling to Keep Them Juicy
Some vegetables, such as beets and artichokes, are difficult to grill. By the time you get a nice charred outside, the insides will be pliable or soft. Or they may be undercooked on the inside and never get the desired taste on the outside. … Here’s the solution: prepare them first. You will get the best of both worlds.
In this case, “partial cooking” (strictly partial cooking) means cooking vegetables easily until they are ready. Blanch vegetables in hot water to keep them soft and mostly cooked before placing them on the grill. You can also grill them first and finish cooking in the oven once you have the charcoal you want on the outside. Either way, you will retain the flavor of the vegetables, but you can still add them to the grill.
