You can add smoke to any vegetable, I did this with onions and garlic. For you vegetarians out there, this is a great way to impart some BBQ flavor to any meal.
3 large onions, peeled and quartered
3 heads of garlic, cut in half
5 cups of hickory chips, or any flavor you would like
5 cups of water
Soak the chips for 30 minutes, start the charcoal at the same time... put the onions and garlic on a pan. I have a smoker at home so if you do not please Google how to make a stove top smoker, it is very easy and something you should add to your kitchen skill. Smoke your veggies for one hour, they should be soft when they come out, pull them out earlier if you want them to be a bit more crisp to add to a different dish
If the veggies are not soft you can put them in the oven for 20 minutes covered with foil... this will soften them. Temp on the oven should be 350.
