With the rise in popularity of meat alternatives, there are now many more options on the market for people with different dietary requirements, such as vegetarians and vegans. This means the BBQ is no longer something that non-meat eaters have to miss out on.
While most BBQs are still heavily meat-based, here are a few plant-based alternatives that make great choices for non-meat eaters.
Teriyaki tofu
Tofu is great for marinating in a teriyaki sauce and then sticking on a skewer with some vegetables to cook over the BBQ. Preparing the tofu and sauce in advance means you can just throw them on the BBQ for a few minutes before serving.
Vegetable paella
Cooking paella on the BBQ is ideal as the heat will chargrill the vegetables nicely. The rice in the dish will also absorb your vegetable stock as the heat reduces.
Perfect for summer, paella can be served with sangria and enjoyed on Outback reclining chairs while imagining you’re watching a Spanish sunset.
Gourmet burgers
Plant-based burgers offer tasty alternatives to meat burgers and can generally be cooked in the same way as meat burgers. If you’re feeling creative, you can try making plant-based burgers yourself and tailor it to flavours you enjoy.
Side dishes
BBQs can be enjoyed by everyone, meat eaters and vegans alike, and including a range of side dishes that are suitable for all diets will give your guests lots of food to choose from.
All that’s left to do is fire up your BBQ and enjoy!
