What do vegetarians and vegans eat on a BBQ?

Since my creativity is almost dead in this semester, here’s another post about food. 

I’m a beginner in this meatless world, so the BBQ season made me think: what will I eat on a Sunday family BBQ? A quick online research gave me a simple answer: vegetables and tofu, isn’t that obvious?

This is not a recipe just for vegetarians or vegans, it is also a simple way to diversify your traditional BBQ. Even my family (pro-meat, sausage-lovers) wants me to prepare it for our BBQ since the first time they tried it.

Vegan skewers with marinated vegetables

Serving: two skewers are enough to make you happy

Time: 10 minutes to prepare and at least 15 to keep them in a fridge

Ingredients (depending on how many skewers you want to prepare and how many pieces of vegetables you put on the sticks):

1 pepper

1 courgette

1 onion

200 grams of tofu (buy already marinated tofu, because it has stronger taste)

This is just a suggestion, you can try with your favourite vegetables and use as many as you want!

Marinate:

There’s also room for improvisation here 😊

My suggestion:

1 tbsp of salt

1 tbsp of smoked pepper

1 tsp of granulated garlic

1 tsp of thyme

1 tsp of oregano

1 tsp of black pepper

1 tsp of mustard

1 tsp of honey

A few tablespoons of oil

How to prepare it?

That’s probably as easy as preparing tea.

1.       Wash all the vegetables and peel the onion.

2.       Remove the core from pepper.

3.       Cut everything in cubes (also tofu) or small slices. Don’t make them too small or too big, they have to keep on a stick.

4.       Mix all the spices with oil to prepare your marinate, it has to look like a thick sauce.

5.       Dip the vegetables in marinate. Be careful with onion, dip it only a bit, because it gets too spicy very easily. If you bought marinated tofu, you don’t have to dip it again.

6.       Put everything on a stick piece by piece and then put it in the fridge for at least 15 minutes. Keep it longer if you want to get a better taste.

7.       Place it on the grill, a tray might be useful, but it’s not necessary. 20 minutes should be enough, but you have to keep eye on the skewers.

Enjoy!
