Summer just calls for a barbecue. The passion for barbecuing is in the blood of many Dutch people. Especially when the sun is shining, we want to prepare the most delicious dishes in the garden with friends and family on the barbecue or in your own outdoor kitchen. If you want to eat vegan, you really don't have to give up the pleasure of barbecuing. You can also prepare delicious dishes on the barbecue without meat and fish.
Shopping for a vegan barbecue
A vegan barbecue can be prepared with a wide variety of fresh and healthy ingredients. Actually all kinds of vegetables are suitable to use and can be combined with tofu, seitan and tempeh.
Flavor vegetables
For vegetables that do not have a particularly strong taste by themselves, it is best to work with a marinade. You can compose this marinade to your own taste. You use an oil as the basis for the marinade. You can then combine this with a vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar for a sweet taste and red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar for a more pronounced taste. Then add a mix of finely chopped herbs, such as rosemary, dill or oregano. Before placing the vegetables on the barbecue, brush them well with the marinade. That way they get a nice crispy crust.
Of course you can serve a nice sauce with the barbecued vegetables, just like with meat. Barbecue sauce, for example, is a good option. A somewhat spicier sauce based on green pepper can also be delicious to give a dish a little more spice.
Vegan barbecue benefits
An important advantage of a vegan barbecue is that the vegan kitchen is rich in proteins, vitamins, iron, calcium and other beneficial minerals that vegetables contain as standard. You can therefore prepare delicious light recipes quickly and easily. Those who are not used to eating vegan will be amazed by the good feeling you have after a vegan barbecue.
