Ingredients

1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 tablespoons chopped fresh or 2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 lb fresh asparagus spears
1 lb fresh green beans
1/2 lb fresh whole mushrooms, cut in half
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1

Heat gas or charcoal grill. In large bowl, mix melted butter, thyme and chives. Add all remaining ingredients except walnuts; toss to coat with butter. Place vegetables in grill basket (grill "wok").
2

Place grill basket on grill rack over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 6 to 8 minutes, turning vegetables once or twice, until tender. Sprinkle with walnuts.

Expert Tips

tip 1
If you don’t have a grill basket, use a sheet of heavy-duty foil and poke a few holes in the foil with a fork.
tip 2
When grilling a variety of vegetables at once, be prepared to take each off the grill at different times.
tip 3
Olive oil can be substituted for the butter. Or omit the butter and spray the vegetables with cooking spray, then sprinkle with the seasonings.
tip 4
Pine nuts can be substituted for the walnuts.
