A green and glorious testament that salvation isn’t just for meat.
Ingredients
• A bounty of vegetables — whatever’s in season or within reach:
• Bell peppers
• Zucchini
• Mushrooms
• Onions
• Asparagus
• Corn on the cob
• Cauliflower or broccoli florets
• 2–3 tbsp olive oil (the sacred binder of all things good)
• Tash’s Lard Almighty Dry Rub — enough to coat each piece like a blessing
• Optional finishing drizzle: melted butter, honey, or balsamic glaze
Instructions
1. The Gathering of the Garden
Wash and slice your veggies into even, grill-friendly pieces — not too thick, not too thin.
Lay them out on a sheet pan like disciples ready for conversion.
2. The Anointing
Drizzle with olive oil and toss until glistening.
Then sprinkle generously with Tash’s Lard Almighty Dry Rub, ensuring each piece is fully sanctified.
Let them rest 15–30 minutes (or longer if fridge space allows) so the rub can work its quiet miracles.
3. The Smoke or the Flame
• For Grilling: Preheat your grill to medium-high (around 400°F). Grill directly for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and char-kissed.
• For Smoking: Preheat smoker to 225°F and cook for 45–60 minutes, until the veggies are tender, smoky, and fragrant enough to draw converts from neighboring yards.
4. The Finishing Blessing
Remove from the heat and drizzle lightly with melted butter, honey, or balsamic glaze — whatever the spirit moves you to do.
Taste. Adjust seasoning. Rejoice.
5. The Serving of the Saved
Serve as a heavenly side to ribs, brisket, or salmon — or let the veggies stand alone in their smoky glory.
Even the most devout carnivores will say amen.
