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. With kebabs, dips, superb salads, homemade sausages and some of the best vegetarian burger recipes, there are so many delicious and simple vegetarian dishes to make.

Consider Using A Seperate Vegetarian Grill

If you are not vegetarian but are catering for both vegetarians and meat-eaters, try to have a separate grill for the vegetarians. At least a separate section of it.

Vegetarians generally do not like their food to be cooked next to, or touching, meat. Keep things separate and your efforts will definitely be appreciated. A good option if you are having vegetarian guests is to use a portable or disposable grill. They are inexpensive and convenient. Using a separate tool set will also be appreciated.

And remember to make enough. The meat eaters will usually want their share of the vegetarian barbeque too!

A Word About Dessert!

If you like to toast marshmallows on the grill (who doesn't?), don't forget that most marshmallows contain gelatine and are therefore not suitable for vegetarians and vegans. If you feel like having some fun and making your own, here's a vegan marshmallow recipe worth trying. Otherwise, you can buy vegan marshmallows in many whole food stores or online from Vegan Essentials.

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.

Vegetarian Sausage
Sausages 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:
