Steps
- 1Cut the vegetables or plant protein into pieces that cook evenly.
- 2Cook aromatics first so the dish has a real base.
- 3Add vegetables, beans, tofu, or lentils and season early.
- 4Cook until the texture is tender, crisp, or saucy depending on the dish.
- 5Finish with acid, herbs, crunch, or sauce so it does not taste flat.
Grit & Soul tip
Vegetable food still needs bold seasoning. Treat it like dinner, not an apology.

18m agoThis is the kind of idea I would save for a cold Sunday. The cast iron move feels exactly right.
Grit & Soul know-how
Use the zones
Why it works
A hot side and a cooler side give you sear, control, and a place to finish without burning the outside.
Watch for
Dry the surface before it hits the grate. Moisture has to leave before browning can begin.
Make it yours
Finish with something bright: pickles, herbs, citrus, vinegar sauce, or a sharp slaw.
