Vegetarian Barbeque Ideas To Inspire...
The term vegetarian barbeque, for many people, seems a contradiction in terms! But it's actually very easy to create a great vegetarian meal on the barbecue.
There are loads of interesting and simple things you can do. Just remember if you are not a vegetarian.... Whether you favour charcoal barbeques or a gas grill, try to have a seperate one for the vegetarians. At least a seperate section of it. They will appreciate it! And make sure you make enough. The meat eaters will usually want their share of the vegetarian barbeque too!
Vegan barbecue recipes are marked with a V .
Burgers
Obviously I don’t serve meat at my barbeques but I know many people will be providing meat as well as vegetarian barbecue fare. If you are, burgers are always a good option because they will go with most of the trimmings you have for the meat e.g. sauces, relish, buns. There are plenty of pretty good ready made burgers but if you have the time, it’s nice to make your own. It’s also cheaper and a lot healthier. All of these vegetarian burger recipes freeze excellently so you can make them in advance, ready to throw on the barbeque at the last minute.

SausageSausages have all the advantages of burgers in terms of convenience. Take a look at my Glamorgan Sausage recipe, if you would like to make your own. These sausages are as versatile as meat but, unlike the commercial variety, they don't actually taste like meat which - for me - is the point. The homemade variety have their own unique and delicious flavour which I think makes them a lot more special.
Vegetarian Kebabs
Kebabs cooked on the barbeque make a delicious and fresh tasting alternative to burgers and sausages. With a little imagination, they can make a really impressive vegetarian barbecue dish. Here are some of my suggestions:
