Hi vegetarians and vegans out there,

summer is coming and I love to habe barbecue in the parc with friends. I like to prepare yummy salads and to grill some tofu sausages, seitan steaks or soy burger. But also feta cheese and Haloumi tast quiet good.

Do you have any special vegetarian yummy things or special recipes to put on the grill?

Let me know!

    I'm not a vegetarian, but I love

    asparagus (dress with a little olive oil first)
    corn on the cob (good plain, but for a mexican street food snack, after BBQ-ing dress with a little mayonnaise and grated cheese)
    potatoes (microwave a couple of minutes first and finish on the BBQ)
    smallish tomatoes (prick skin with a fork and toss in olive oil first)

    Oh I have got to follow this thread. I am vegan and live in KC, and the BBQs are already filling out the calendar. Also, big thanks to the non-veggies for posting food ideas anyway.

    We grill everything. Look up recipes for grilled stuffed zucchini or mushrooms, there are a lot of fun things you can do with those! Kabobs are always fun, too. Assorted vegetables (and pineapple...it's awesome on a veggie kabob) marinated in some Italian dressing.

    I found this recipe not too long ago (thank you Pinterest) http://www.marthastewart.com/336994/grilled-sweet-potatoes-with-scallions and LOVE it! We've made it a few times and I could make a meal of it. I look forward to having friends over to share this delicious goodness!

    Love shish kabobs, that's what we're having tonight actually. Grilled pizza is really good, but we burned ourselves out on it last summer :ohwell: Grilled asparagus drizzled with evoo, salt and pepper is a staple at our house during the summer too.

    Soy is estrogenic, you shouldn't eat that.

    I forgot to add:

    You can do the asparagus on the hot coals just after the fire is started, if you work quickly and turn frequently.
    The cherry tomatoes or smallish tomatoes are best done on the dying embers.

    I also regularly do thick slices of courgette (zucchini) and portobello mushrooms. Both should be tossed in olive oil first.

    It's still very much up for debate. If you're doing it instead of meat, you're still getting half as much phyto-estrogen than you are estrogen from many animal products. Hey, I'm admitting here that it could potentially be harmful, but it isn't really proven. There is also debate as to whether plant estrogen can harm our human bodies anyway. I don't eat much of the stuff either for the reason you stated, but it may be premature to scare people off.

    Hi Miimii,

    I love to have large flat cup mushrooms, corn cobs, pre-boiled new potatoes, courgette slices (zucchini), Aubergine slices (eggplant), half bell peppers. We use a tiny bit of oil but I guess you could use cooking spray.

    I am off to bed now but will reply properly tomorrow.

    We have a lot of quorn products in the UK so I have what the meat eaters eat and lots of salad.

    I do veggie kebabs too

    Finish off the bbq with a banana on the grill (preferably stuffed with a bit of chocolate!).

    We ate at a veg. restaurant in Denver and they made seitan hot wings to die for so maybe you could grill some strips and then toss in hot sauce?

    I like President's choice vegan chicken breasts. I've never grilled them but I bet they would be amazing.

    I've always thought about doing that. Sounds like I need to get down to business and try that.

    We love potatoes on the grill topped with homemade sauces. you can boil them first (or just wash, puncture a few times, wrapped in a paper towel and microwave 5 m for a large potatoe), peel it, cut in two, lenghtwise, brush oil and salt all around and put the flat (cut) side on the grill first. Let the grill do its job for a while, it will make nice dark lines, turn it around and grill some more. enjoy with some type of sauce.

    seriously, people go crazy about these two:

    1. Mint pesto: blend seaded serrano peppers, oil, onion, garlic, salt peper and a bunch of mint leaves.

    1. Blend red japapeno, some roasted peanuts, oil, onion, garlic, salt pepper and mint leaves.

    You got red and green sauces to accompany your BBQ
