Vegetarian barbeque food?

[lilmonkey]

Has anybody got any recepies for vegetarian food suitable for barbeques that are a bit more interesting than plain old veggie burgers/sausages?

asda sells paninii's with various fillings that can be cooked on a barbeque.

I always like marinated vegetable kebabs - for the marinade you can use chilli oil, crushed coriander seeds and cumin - just brush it on the vegetables and barbeque (you can use red & green peppers, mushrooms, onion, or any vegetable that is around really). Another marinade that is nice with aubergine skewers uses coconut, chili, vegetable stock, salt and pepper. Aubergines are also nice roased just in olive oil on a barbecue.

Wraps are also good - cook some jasmine rice and stir in some coconut milk & chilli. Wrap this mixture in a tortilla or flat bread and barbeque until warmed through.

I'm getting hungry now!

Halloumi cheese is perfect as it doesn;t melt - perfect with some bbqd veg in a pitta bread or with some chilli oil!

Mmmm, agree with the halloumi cheese idea.  Yum!

Also veggie skewers, or fruit skewers (chunks of pineapple, apple and marshmallow for sweet)

Also when I want little we used to run a knife down the centre of a banana, squash in those miniature mars bars (from Celebrations box) and then wrap in foil and bbq.  Mmmmmm :)

Also this may sound a little daft, but do they eat fish (I think some veggies do) in which case there are plenty more options.

I make halloumi cheese kebabs, soak some mushrooms in olive oil, then stick on kebab skewers with onion, peppers and cubes of halloumi cheese, delicious, the veggies and non-veggies were all eating these at a barbeque I was at last week.

I gave a normal burger to a vegetarian once thinking it was of the Linda McCartney variety that she'd bought along.... she really liked it.

Try these spicy sweet potato slices (they take a bit of prep but you could do it in advance):

Parboil approx 1lb of unpeeled sweet potatoes then let them cool.  Peel then cut into thick slices. Mix 2 tblspns of oil with 1 tspn of chilli sauce and a pinch of s and p.  Brush the oil onto the slices then bar-b-q.

You can always do veggie kebebs with varoius dips/marinades, corn on the cob is always a winner.

For a sweet option, peel, slice and core a pineapple.  Mix a good splash of dark rum, 2 tblspns muscavado sugar, 1 tspn ground ginger and 4 tblspns of melted, unsalted butter.  Brush the mix onto the pineapple then cook for approx 3/4 mins each side.  Serve with a blob of ice cream - heaven!!  Enjoy!!

Just to add to some of the excellent suggestions so far. If you can't be bothered making up kebabs just wrap some small chunks of veggies (peppers, mushrooms, courgette) in aluminium foil parcels with a little olive oil. Dip par boiled new potatoes in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper and cook in foil parcels. Also try bananas with honey and cinnamon wrapped in foil.

Wow, didn't think there'd be so much variety. I was going to suggest the kebabs too, but there you go! They are delicious though.

Thanks everyone for loads of ideas! A lot more interesting than vile processed veggie burgers!

I 'que lots of different veggies and I roast alot of them whole.  Rub your whole veggies with herb oils >>rosemary, basil, mint,  or garlic.  Try: pototoes, sweet potatoes, zucchinni, squash,  carrots, parsnip,  red & green peppers, onions, portabello mushrooms. 

Corn:   pull husk back a bit and remove hairs,  soak corn in water for about one hour before grilling. Roast corn in wet husk, turning every few minutes.... 

And at every "Veggie-Que" I have, it goes with out saying...there must be a roasted garlic bulb to spread on pita, crackers,  veggie burgers.  Take a whole bulb a garlic, slice the top off about 1cm to expose the cloves inside.   Drizzle olive oil over top. Roast.   Once bulb is cook, the garlic cloves inside >a mild garlic paste,  pick off a clove, squeeze on pita...devour!

Here's to a great summer of

"Veggie-Que's"

Whole spring onions (not too thin) brushed with oil cooked on the BBQ are delicious - but keep a close eye on them as they cook quite quickly - that's why it's best to use thicker ones.

To add to the banana suggestions - very simply just use whole, unpeeled bananas and leave until they are completely black.  Great for when you've cooked all the savoury stuff but there's plenty of heat still in the BBQ.

Mash up a clove of garlic and stir ir in with some soft butter.  Take a big flat mushroom and remove the stalk, placing a dollop of the garlic butter in its place.  Wrap in foil and put on the bbq for a few minutes. Garlic mushroom, yum!
