Old @mickey vegetable post, looking for recipe

Eggdicted_Dawgfan

I am looking for a good grilled vegetable recipe and came across this picture from @Mickey in 2012. Any chance this recipe or method has been posted anywhere? Would love to try tonight.

Send @MICKEY a PM & ask him.

I bet he will come along soon and see this.

Looks like he just put all the veggies in the pan, drizzled with EVOO, some s&p throw it in the grill until done.  I would par-boil the potatoes, but everything else, just toss it in the pan.   I would typically let something like this cook for ~30-45 min at about 325-350.

Thank you @onedbguru Do you think I can get that kind of char at 325-350 in just 30-45 mins going direct?

Eggdicted_Dawgfan

If it was something of importance I would PM but I don't see it being necessary to bother him with something so simple. If it turns out terrible maybe I'll send him a message. Thanks again!

I've seen @mickey publish his cell # on here for less. If you need help, PM him. No more bother than clicking on the thread. He's one of the most helpful eggers here.

@Mickey is a class act and always willing to help us out. 

Eggdicted_Dawgfan

@mickey that is very nice of you to share your number. I am just seeing your post so obviously I don't have the need to call you (for now). I do appreciate the gesture tho. 

My my veggies did not turn out anywhere close to as nice as yours did (no char) but maybe I need a different pan next time. It seems I had water in the pan until they were completely done so no chance to char without overcooking. Maybe I should hear the pan before adding the veggies. Anyway, thanks again to everyone.

It happen, so pics below.


Before



After.



Added a little cheese and broiled for a few mins to make up for the lack of char. It didn't make up for it.







Chicken was good and corn was blah.

No water at all. Like the SS pan. 400 up high to cook off the dome. EVOO and balsamic.  

Eggdicted_Dawgfan

Ok sounds good. Next time I'll use a ss pan and get them up in the dome. I like the balsamic idea too. Thank you sir. 

johnkitchens

@Eggdicted_Dawgfan  your veggies look good to me. I would eat them. 

Eggdicted_Dawgfan

Thanks John. They were eaten for sure. Just something about that char on veggies I really enjoy. I'm not giving up.

Thank you @Doc_Eggerton. That looks like a nice contraption. How does ig hold up to high direct heat?

Just fine.  Stir the veggies every ten minutes or so.  Williams Sonoma.  Don't overlook sweet potatoes.

Note that in a basket the veggies on top cook the fastest, and veggies overall cook a lot longer than you anticipate.

@Doc_EggertonI actually bought a sweet potatoe but didn't have time to boil first and was afraid it wouldn't cook in time before the other vegs were done. What do you mean veggies overall cook longer than you think. Meaning they take longer?

A.  Why would you boil sweet potatoes?  Wrap them in foil and cook until they are soft.  They cook much faster than white potatoes.

2.  A basket of veggies takes 30 minutes to cook.  A lot of people think they will be done in 5 minutes.  You must stir and reapply olive oil or PAM, and get them warm but not wilted.  Veggies are more complicated to cook than a lot of people realize.

Eggdicted_Dawgfan

That does sound odd to boil STaders. I just thought I would need to boil them in order to have them done at the same time, I was thinking of putting them in with the veggies like Mickey did. Not sure why I didn't think to just wrap it and throw it on the egg. 

What at is the reason to reapply oil? Even if I toss them all prior to cooking? Your knowledge is greatly appreciated. 

Doc_Eggerton

The oil leaks out the basket.

Eggdicted_Dawgfan

Gotcha. So just when using the basket. That makes sense. Thanks again Doc.
