I've never grilled it but here is how we usually eat it. Cut it into pieces about 3/4 inch long and cook it down in a little olive oil until tender. Add salt and pepper. It's also good added to homemade vegetable soup. Adding some to fresh or frozen speckled lima beans as they cook with a piece of ham or other smoked pork is really good, in my opinion. If you want to batter fry it try cutting it lengthwise and it's not as much trouble.
