Grilled Broccoli Wedges with Herb Vinaigrette

There's more to broccoli than just the florets, the stalks are delicious too. Plus, using the whole stalk allows for grilling directly on the rack, no grill basket needed! Lightly charring the broccoli then finishing over indirect heat allows the stems to get tender without burning.
