HRFLTiger - 02 May 2005 01:30 GMT
OK, I need some veggie BBQ recipies as I have a veggie friend coming to
a meat-eaters BBQ next weekend and I want her to feel "included". Her
other 1/2 is a Canadian and it'll be the first time he gets to do the
whole "British-BBQ-in-the-rain" thing. ;o)

I have therefore asked HRFL Tiger to troll so that you can all keep in
the tradition of a troll BBQ...

OK...Here I go...
Get off the computer human!! Is where I takes over HAHAHAHAHAHAHA -
Cats rool, and you are all slaves to a superior race of beings!
HAHAHAHA!!! D*gs and TEDs suck lollipops! I am the wun troo lord and
master!

Do I really have to carry this on, Helen? I'm far too much of a
sophisti-cat for tnis nonsense - can't they just give you recipies?

HRFL Tiger

So folks, can I have some easy to make, cheap veggie BBQ recipies
please?

(laughing madly)  Very good, HRFL Tiger!

Veggies on the BBQ?  Oh that's opening up a world of possibilities!  Any
type of squash (yellow, zucchini) works well on the grill.  Cut in half
lengthwise, brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with salt & pepper, or
perhaps a bit of dried oregano or marjoram.  Grill skin-side down first,
then turn the squash and grill cut-side down until lightly browned and
tender.  You can do the same sort of thing with *round* slices of eggplant
(aubergine).

Corn on the cob, of course.  I soak the corn in the husks about 30 minutes
prior so the husks don't burn too badly.  Then just put them on the grill
and yes, the husks will get blackened.  Turn the corn periodically - takes
about an hour.

Roasted spuds, of course.  Small red potatoes are good for this.

You could always make some veggie kabobs - chunks of squash, cut portions of
corn on the cob, cherry tomatoes, small onions, new potatoes, etc.,
skewered, brushed with oil, seasoned then grilled.

Absolutely!  Oh, and asparagus is excellent on the grill!  However, you
might want to purchase some of the "grill foil" sheets because it might
(oops!) roll off and fall through the grate.

I've found that you can cook darn near anything on the grill.  In the summer
most of our cooking is done outside just to keep the house cool.  I do a lot
of stuff on foil.  I like the "release" version of foil that nothing sticks
to.  And I do quite a bit in foil roasting pans on the upper shelf of our
covered grill.  Lots of TriTips and whole chickens.

Another way to fill a vegetarian up is some sort of vegetarian baked or BBQ
beans.  (Such as Pork and Beans but the vegetarian version).  I'll hunt for
a recipe for those we used to use that
included relish and Seven Up.

You can heat garlic bread on the grill too.

Yup!  When I was without electricity for a week after a nasty storm a few
years back I did *all* my cooking on the grill.  I had to use up what was
thawing in the freezer and I kept a large ice chest for things like eggs,
milk.  Work was closed (the water pumping stations were shut down due to
damage - the stench from the restrooms, oh my!)  I cooked breakfast on a
cast iron griddle, used the bacon drippings to fry some eggs.  Leftover
drippings went to bake cornbread (cast iron was my best friend).  I made a
pot of soup, even a pot of spicy jambalaya.

Of course bacon won't work with a vegetarian, but I was amazed at the meals
I turned out on my small Webber kettle.  I keep charcoal on hand always.
Thanks for reminding me the name of those grill sheets - "Reynolds Grill
Release".  Good stuff!

I *LOVE* cornbread baked from scratch in a cast iron skillet - that's how I
start my turkey dressing every Thanksgiving.

You won't catch me using that boxed stuff.  For one thing, it's too darned
sweet.  When I was visiting my friend Paula up in Boston... she was born and
raised down south but married a Yankee LOL... we were in a bar having a beer
after walking around downtown.  They started handing out free cornbread.  Is
that odd or what?  She said, "You won't like it."  Sure enough, it was like
CAKE it was so sweet.  And where was the nice golden crust?  Damn Yankees
don't know nuthin' about cornbread ;)

You should have know my grandmother (in Ohio).  She always baked her
cornbread in some sort of fluted cast iron pan, and it had the golden crust
you described.  Everyone loved it!

My parents are from Ohio!  But, Mom's parents being straight off the boat
from Scotland and Dad's mother being German, they didn't do cornbread.  The
first experience I had with cornbread was some boxed mix my mom bought that
came with a flimsey tin pan to bake it in.  Betty Crocker or something.  I
knew I'd like cornbread but I never really had any of the good golden stuff
until years later when we moved to Tennessee... and it wasn't Mom who made
it. <G>  I have my trusty 8" cast iron skillet which I use solely for
cornbread; a divided cast iron corn muffin pan and also a cast iron
cornstick pan :)

I wanna come to your house for Thanksgiving.  I love cornbread dressing made
with real cornbread.  I'm the only cornbread fan in my family.

It's very nice if you add some cooked wild rice to it, too.  Gives it a bit
of "bite" (so to speak).  If you aren't a vegetarian, there's always the
option of adding a bit of sausage along with the usual onion, garlic,
celery.... YUM!

Red capsicum (red bell pepper) is also *delicious* grilled.

And jacket potatoes with sour cream and chives (real chives of course) are
to *die* for. As is roast garlic. Just get the whole garlic - all the cloves
together - wrap it in foil, and roast slowly. Then squeeze out the roasted
garlic onto brushetta-style bread thats onthe grill, toasting, and drizzle
with olive and salt. Mmmmmmmmm.

Oh, and big thick slices of potato on the BBQ go really nicely too. Season
them well and you have something akin to 'wedges'.

You've got me drooling.

I just ate the better part of two large ones raw, sliced and
dipped in herbed sour cream. To me they are so sweet
they might be fruit--only more interesting!

Auggggghhhh! I don't need to know this! ;)

Here's a couple of things we do on the island: wrap pieces of root
veggies in tin foil along with a little oil and spices - salt, pepper,
herbs. Wrap whole onions and garlic in tin foil, also with oil and
spices. Grill packages on barbecue. Skewers with mushrooms, tomatoes,
zucchini, peppers (different colours), apple, sliced corn-on-the-cob.
Brush with spicy oil.

My favourite change to veggie burgers and bangers is: take some tofu (or
quorn or halloumi cheese), dice it, put it in a bowl with some sweet chilli
sauce, some garlic sauce and some fresh rosemary or thyme, add some diced
kebab veg (red onion, pepper, mushroom, cherry toms etc), leave to marinade
for a while and then make into kebabs, absolutely gorgeus.  Very messy to
eat though.  My bbq's are 100% vegetarian and this always goes down best.
You can also do the marinade and just put slices of halloumi in it and bbq
them, ooh I'm getting hungry!

Can you get portobello mushrooms? If so, get a couple, take off the
stem. Brush them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill
on the BBQ like you would a burger, until nice and tender. Serve just
like you would a regular burger. Presto!

These are amazing! I do a grilled portobello on warm
sourdough with a slice of tomato and a slice of provolone
melted on top! These mushrooms are very meaty--just
delicious.

OK HRFL Tiger, this is how it should have been done.

You fat arsed old womens wearing muumuus don't give us enough gooshy
food and respect.  You're all too nice.  Get over yourselves and get me
the crunchies.  I want music, snacks and dancing.  So get your gooshy
selves out there and take care of it.  Cats Of the World Unite.  We're
going to take over and really let those hoomins know that we're in charge.

Feed TEDS to the dogs and give us their snacks.  Feed hoomins to the
fishes and give me their snacks.  Be Politically Correct and worship at
the Porcelain Chair.

Cap'n Pine Cone esq. who thinks HRFL Tiger was too nice.

Most veggies at a BBQ are happy to help themselves from the salad stuff. If
you make a nice rice salad, some pasta salad, and green salad, and provide
some tasty bread, she'll probably be happy.
