Marinade and basting: Mix the above in a container that will allow you to marinate the vegetables as well as brush them while they grill. Makes about 1/2 cup. Note: Dense vegetables need to be precooked (completly or blanched) before grilling. *ARTICHOKES: Whole baby artichokes; large artichokes, halved or quartered. Trim and steam until tender; marinate briefly before grilling. Grilling time: 10 to 15 minutes or until brown. *CARROTS: Rub unpeeled medium-sized carrot with marinade before grilling. Grilling time: 20 to 25 minutes, turning frequently, until brown and soft. *CORN ON THE COB: Pull husk down and discard silk. Brush corn with marinade. Pull husk up and secure with string. Soak in water for 10 to 15 minutes before grilling. Grilling time: 15 to 20 minutes, turning frequently, until husks are charred. *EGGPLANT AND JAPANESE EGGPLANT: Cut large eggplant into 1/2-inch rounds or lengthwise slices; cut small Japanese eggplants in half or leave whole.
