DIY BBQ: Homemade Veggie Burgers & Potato Salad

Grilled Caribbean Vegetarian Kebabs

Yummy Vegan BBQ

Vegan Barbeques

Want to make sure your vegan barbeque goes off without a hitch? Read these quick tips and "how tos" for vegan barbecuing!

Prepare your grill

If you use pre-made veggie burgers or veggie dogs, check the label to make sure that they are suitable for grilling.

Clean your grill as you normally would. Once your grill is clean and cooled, take a paper towel dipped in oil and rub it throughly across the grates. Alternatively, spray your grill with a non-stick cooking spray. Now you're ready to grill.

Quick and Easy

Try throwing these naturally flavorful foods on the grill for a no-hassle and no-recipe vegan barbeque:

* Pineapple rings (sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar)

* Portobello mushrooms (brush with oil and serve like a veggie burger with all the condiments)

* Sweet potatoes or yams (wrap in foil, or, slice in half, pre-bake, brush with maple syrup for extra sweetness and grill)

* Asparagus (soak in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling)

* Corn on the cob

* Marinated tofu

* Apples (slice in half and sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar or drizzle with maple syrup)

Entrée or side dish

Just because its a barbeque, doesn't mean all the food has to be on the grill! Add grilled veggies to a green salad, or grill some pineapple for a pineapple and banana ice cream split.

Or toss your grilled veggies with pre-cooked pasta for a main dish or serve inside of scooped out French bread with some soy or non-dairy cheese for a grilled veggie sandwich.

Tofu and Skewers

For grilling make sure the tofu is extra-firm and well pressed. Tofu works well on a skewer, along with smaller veggies such as Brussels sprouts and mushrooms. Turn the skewers frequently to cook evenly. You might also want to learn more about how to grill tofu.

Curried Grilled Seitan Kebabs

Ingredients:

* 1 1/2 pounds seitan

* 2 onions, coarsely chopped

* 5 bell peppers, any color, chopped into 1 inch chunks

* 1 cup whole mushrooms

* 1/3 cup olive oil

* 3 tbsp sesame oil

* 1/4 cup curry powder

* 1 tbsp salt

* 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder

* barbecue skewers

Preparation:

Place the seitan, onions, peppers, tomatoes, and mushrooms on the barbecue skewers.

In a shallow baking dish or large ziplock bag, combine together the olive oil, sesame oil, curry powder, salt and garlic. Marinate the skewered vegetable kebabs for at least 2 hours (longer is fine).

Grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until done.

Citrus Braised Brussels Sprouts & Cheesy Dill Potatoes

By Kathy - Happy Healthy Life - serves two.

Ingredients:

2 cups Brussels sprouts

1 1/2 cups red potatoes, cubed

1 bunch fresh dill

2 tangerines, temple oranges or sweet citrus

1 large white onion

1-2 Tbsp olive oil

2 Tbsp lemon juice

1 Tsp garlic powder

1 tsp salt

2 tsp black pepper

1 Tbsp dijon mustard

2 Tbsp vinegar (any variety)

1/4 cup vegetable broth

2-4 vegan cheese slice singles, (I only used 2 slices, but you can use more.) Rice vegan singles are my favorite cheese option.

Directions:

Cut off Brussels sprout ends. Remove loose or wilted leaves.

Chop into halves.

Wash and slice potatoes into 3/4 inch long cubes.

Slice off long stems of dill herb bunch. Chop dill coarsely.

Rough chop onion.

Squeeze one tangerine and rough chop the other.

In a soup pan:

Add oil and potatoes to pan.

Char all sides of the potatoes.

Add in Brussels sprouts, onions, agave and half of tangerine juice.

Char surface of Brussels sprouts.

Add in broth, mustard, vinegar, pepper, salt, garlic powder and half of the dill.

Reduce heat and cover pan with lid.

Allow to cook for about 5 minutes. Shake pan every so often.

Test doneness by inserting fork into potato.

When the veggies seem tender remove from pan into large mixing bowl.

Add vegan cheese slices and toss well. Heat will melt cheese.

Add in the chopped tangerine, remaining fresh dill and 2 Tbsp lemon juice.

Toss again.

Garnish with a cheese slice and fresh dill.

Serve and enjoy!

* 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

* 1/2 tsp salt

* 1 pound seitan sliced into large chunks

Barbecued Seitan Ribz by vegan Dad

Ingredients:

1 cup vital wheat gluten

2 teaspoons smoked Spanish paprika

2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

2 teaspoons onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

3/4 cup water

2 tablespoons tahini or other nut butter

1 teaspoon Liquid Smoke

1 tablespoon soy sauce

about 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce

Method:

Preheat the oven to 350 and lightly spray an 8x8 baking dish with olive oil. Mix the first 5 ingredients together in a large bowl. Mix the water with the nut butter, Liquid Smoke, and soy sauce and add it to the dry ingredients. Stir to mix well and then knead lightly in the bowl for a couple of minutes.

Put the dough into the baking dish and flatten it so that it evenly fills the pan. Take a sharp knife and cut it into 8 strips; then turn the pan and cut those strips in half to form 16 pieces:

Put it in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. While it's cooking prepare your gril.l

Remove it from the oven and carefully re-cut each strip, going over each cut to make sure that the ribz will pull apart easily later. Generously brush the top with barbecue sauce. Take it to the grill and invert the whole baking dish onto the grill (or use a large spatula to lift the seitan out, placing it sauce-side down on the grill). Brush the top of the seitan with more sauce:

Watch it closely to make sure that it doesn't burn. When it's sufficiently brown on one side, turn over and cook the other side, adding more sauce, if necessary. When done, remove to a platter and cut or pull apart the individual ribs to serve.

Pina Colada Ice Cream

Gather the following:

A whole, shell-on coconut* you'll use 2/3 of it

1 fresh pineapple

Some of your favorite rum (you can sub pineapple or orange juice)

1/2 lime

A little salt

Maple syrup (optional)

Method:

Take your cute little coconut and, with a hammer and nail, pound a couple of holes in its indentations. Drain and reserve the liquid that comes out.

Now smash the heck out the coconut - this is much more fun when done outside in one's bathing suit with sunglasses as protective eyewear.

Pry the coconut meat out of the shell with a flathead screwdriver or similar - Keep doing this until you've hurt yourself and have to stop OR until you've got 2/3 of the meat out of the shell.

Now for the REALLY tedious part: using a paring knife, remove the last of the brown skin from the outside of the coconut meat - you want your coconut to blend up the color of a white sand Caribbean beach, not look all brown and junky like Rockaway.

Put your coconut meat in a blender and whip it up as much as possible, using the reserved coconut juice as liquid to facilitate the blending.

*You can totally skip this whole step and use a can of coconut cream instead.

Now, take your pineapple and whack off the frilly top - Same to the bottom, minus the frilly- sheering down the sides with your knife, slice off all the skin. Cut the naked pineapple in half lengthwise and then in half again so you have 4 long thin pieces. Core the pineapple by cutting away the "V" portion of each of the 4 pieces, then dice up the pineapple.

Add the diced pineapple and a good cup of rum or juice to the blender, along with the lime and salt. You can add some honey if your pineapple isn't particularly ripe or if you like things sweet.

Blend it all up.

Pour into a container and let freeze - It will be easier to scoop out if you stir the slush a few times during the freezing process but just letting it freeze and then unthaw for 10 minutes before you eat it works too. Serve with blackberries : )

Enjoy!

Smoky Asian Grilled Tofu Recipe

Grill your tofu in a tangy Asian hoisin-based sauce for an unusual barbecued tofu recipe. Perfect for your vegan barbecue. It's always best to let the tofu marinade in the sauce for several hours before grilling, so prepare in advance - even the night before your barbecue!

Ingredients:

* 1 block extra firm tofu, well pressed

* 1/2 cup hoisin sauce

* 1 tbsp soy sauce

* 3 tbsp rice wine vinegar

* 1 tbsp lime juice

* 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Preparation:

Carefully slice tofu into 1-inch thick cubes or strips. If you're using skewers, cubes are best, but if you'll be placing your tofu directly on your grill, larger strips are better.

Whisk together all the ingredients, except tofu, and place in a shallow dish. Place the tofu in the dish and spoon some of the marinate on top of the tofu. Allow the tofu to marinade for at least one hour, turning once or spooning more marinade over the top. You can also use a zip-lock bag instead of a dish.

Lightly grease your gill and cook tofu over medium flame for 6-7 minutes on each side, basting with extra marinade.

(Peppers, mushroom, tomato, onion and tofu ready for the barbecue)

Sweet and Spicy Barbecue Tofu Recipe

Ingredients:

* 1 pound extra firm tofu, well pressed and sliced into 3/4 inch rectangles

* 3/4 cup barbeque sauce

* 3/4 cup brown sugar

* 1 tsp chili powder

* 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

* 3/4 cup orange juice concentrate

* salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Whisk together the barbecue sauce, sugar, chili powder, pepper and orange juice over medium low heat until well combined, about 3 minutes.

Place the barbecue sauce mixture in a wide flat dish, and place the tofu in the sauce, coating both sides well. Allow to marinate for at least two hours.

Grill for 4 or 5 minutes on each side, brushing with additional sauce.

Sprinkle with salt and pepper just before serving.

Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Peaches

Ingredients:

* 1 x 28 ounce can vegetarian baked beans

* 4 sweet potatoes

* 2 peaches, sliced

* 1/2 cup onion, diced

* salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Wash potatoes and pierce potato skin several times with a knife. Place potatoes on paper towels and microwave on high power for 10 minutes or until soft.

Cut eight 12-inch squares of heavy duty aluminum foil. Slice potatoes in half and scoop out small portion of potato to make a narrow boat, reserving the scooped out potato. Place one potato half on each foil square.

Mix baked beans, peaches, onion and reserved sweet potato into a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Place mixture in potatoes. Bring up top and bottom edges of foil, leaving a little space for steam expansion during cooking.

Seal potatoes in foil and place on the grill. Cook 20 minutes over indirect heat, or until warmed .

Barbecued Stuffed Acorn Squash

Ingredients:

* 3 acorn squash

* 1 x 28 ounce can vegetarian baked beans

* 4 tbsp barbecue sauce

* 2 tbsp maple syrup

* 4 tbsp dark brown sugar

* 2 tbsp margarine

* 1 cup hickory or other wood chips, soaked in water for 1 hour then drained

Preparation:

Cut each squash in half widthwise. Slice 1/4 inch off the rounded end of each half so the squash sits upright without wobbling. Scrape out the seeds with a spoon and discard.

Mix baked beans, barbecue sauce, maple syrup and brown sugar in small mixing bowl. Divide mixture evenly among squash halves and top each half with 1/2 tablespoon butter. (The squash can be prepared several hours ahead to this stage and refrigerated).

Set up charcoal or gas grill for indirect grilling and preheat to medium. Arrange the squash halves on the grill away from the heat. Cook until squash is tender (the sides will feel soft when squeezed) and the filling is browned and bubbling for about 1 hour. Remove squash from grill and serve immediately.

If using a gas grill place wood chips in smoker box or smoker pouch under the grill grate directly over the burner. Run grill on high until smoking then reduce heat to medium. If using a charcoal grill preheat to medium. Toss wood chips on coals prior to grilling.

* barbecue sauce, the variety of your choice (here is a recipe)

4. Serve the barbecued tempeh on the sesame buns and add cold slaw if you choose to use it. Serve with potato chips or a green salad. Enjoy!

Sautéed Mushroom Spinach and White Bean Purée

By Veg*n Cooking and OtherRandom Musings

Puréed White Beans:

Ingredients:

2-3 cups navy beans

Juice of 1/2 a lemon

1 clove garlic, minced

Basil

Salt

In a food processor blend all ingredients until smooth.

Mushroom and Spinach Mixture:

Ingredients:

4 large white mushrooms, finely diced (or about half of one of those large packages of button mushrooms)

4-5 cups fresh spinach

1/4 onion diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

Veggie broth

Italian seasoning

Salt

Method:

Heat a few tablespoons of veggie broth in a medium sized pan. Add onions and cook for about 5 minutes. Add garlic, mushrooms and seasoning (and more veggie broth if needed), and cook until the mushrooms are soft. Add the spinach in batches, covering with a lid if necessary to wilt. Drain any excess liquid before transferring to a bowl.

Putting It All Together:

Canned, quartered artichoke hearts, rinsed

Whole wheat pita bread

Spread a thin layer of the puréed white beans, a few spoonfuls of the mushroom/spinach mixture, and a few artichoke hearts.

Note: This makes more than enough for a meal for two, so we will be having the leftovers for lunch. We dipped these in Annie's Tuscany Italian dressing.

Idea for a variation: This would probably be good with a little more garlic and/or some kalamata olives puréed with the beans. This would also be really good with plain or garlicky hummus instead of the white bean purée.

Enjoy!

Seven Grain Dirty Rice and Beans

By Diet, Dessert and Dogs : ) -Makes 6-8 servings. May be frozen.

Ingredients:

2 cups dry brown rice (I used basmati)

1-1/2 cups chopped red onion

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup finely diced carrots

1/2 cup finely diced celery

1 small jalapeno pepper, minced (remove seeds for less heat)

1 Tbsp ground cumin

1 Tbsp ground coriander

2 tsp chili powder

1/4 tsp fine sea salt

3-3/4 cups vegetable stock or broth

1 bay leaf

1-1/2 cups chopped tomatoes (I used a large can of diced tomatoes)

1-1/2 cups cooked red beans (I used kidney; any firm bean will do)

1/2 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels

3-4 Tbsp fresh chopped parsley

3-4 Tbsp fresh chopped cilantro

Method:

Preheat oven to 350F (180C).

Spray a large casserole dish (one with a cover) and set aside.

In a fairly large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the rice, onion, garlic, carrots, celery, jalapeno, cumin, coriander and chili powder over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes, until lightly browned.

Add the salt, stock, bay leaf and tomatoes, and stir to combine.

Cover, lower heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

Add the beans, corn, parsley and cilantro. Turn the mixture into the casserole dish, cover and bake for another 30-40 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked. If necessary, add a bit more stock and continue cooking until the rice is sufficientlysoft. Garnish with more chopped herbs, if desired.

Note: The original recipe suggests cooking the entire dish in your pot on the stovetop. I found, however, that the rice never really absorbed the liquid that way, and it remained hard even after an hour of simmering. If the stovetop method works for you, however, go ahead and use it – you’ll save yourself some dishes to wash that way.

Enjoy!
