Grilled Broccoli and Cauliflower - Allergy Free CookBook

Broccoli and cauliflower have color, taste, and texture that offset each other well. When grilled, they are more cooked than when steamed, though not as fully cooked as boiling or baking. Additional flavorful ingredients include bacon bits, diced ham, onions, parsley, or green beans. They can be steamed before placing on the grill. Although this creates extra dishes, it will allow them to begin the cooking process much faster. Broccoli and cauliflower pair with steak, pork chops, or chicken. Fresh from the garden to the grill in less than an hour's work. A perfect ending to a sweltering summer day.
