Here's Bobby's recipe for a good side dish to grill. "This is a colorful side dish, prepared on the grill that is both tasty and chock-full of vegetables," Bobby wrote. "If you prefer different vegetables go ahead and add them or replace something to your liking. I use the following ingredients because of the colors and flavors."
Vegetable Medley
3 medium sized Potatoes – cut into chunks
2 medium sized bell peppers (green, red, yellow, orange – whatever color(s) you prefer), cut into chunks
2-3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 tablespoon minced garlic
4 little corn cobs
1 package mushrooms. quartered
Salt and pepper to taste
Aluminum foil
1. Preheat grill.
2. Wash and chop vegetables.
3. Take a large piece of aluminum foil, large enough to bundle all ingredients together. Place the butter or margarine throughout the foil to prevent the vegetables from sticking. Place potatoes, corn, bell peppers and mushrooms randomly along the foil. Sprinkle the minced garlic over all, add salt and pepper to taste. Wrap vegetables like a large burrito.
4. Place foil packet on grill over medium heat turning occasionally to prevent burning. Grill for 30 – 45 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Turn out vegetable medley into large serving bowl.
