“Meatless Monday”
Grilled Vegetable Lasagna

Guest Chef Larry Gaian – The BBQ Grail.

March 3rd, 2010

A guest chef contributor to Sizzle on the Grill for whom I have great respect and admiration is Larry Gaian. The guy is just as funny as they come and a creative cook.  He’s undertaken a challenge this year to dedicate one day a week, Monday, to eat meatless. While that may be a challenge for many Americans – we do love meat at meal times – consider that this fella is one heck-of-a-barbeque master who has probably dropped and forgotten more briskets and pork shoulders than most of us will ever prepare!  This recent recipe he shared sounds so darn good – I’m gonna give it a try!

Happy Grilling!

Meatless Monday – Grilled Vegetable Lasagna
adapted by Larry Gain from a recipe by Gordon Ramsey

One of the “Meatless Monday” challenges I face is coming up with meals that actually appeal to me.  When my copy of the Gordon Ramsey cookbook,  Cooking for Friends, arrived I was glad to find a veggie dish that both sounded good and could be done outdoors on the grill. So here’s my take on Gordon Ramsey’s Grilled Vegetable Lasagna.  The main different between the recipe below and what I did was the vegetables were all cooked on my Weber kettle.  The original recipe also uses the oven, as I did, but it could be done in the smoker or indirect on your gas or charcoal grill.

The original recipe calls for using the broiler to char the bell peppers - I used my charcoal grill.

I also cut the zucchini into long 1/2 inch thick strips instead of rounds so they were easier to grill. (This photo shows both a round - top - and a strip.)

Topped with a little basil. Added some french bread and a salad for a complete meal.
