Guest guest Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Hello-- My name is Mary. I've got to tell you right off that I am not a vegetarian. I need help though. I have a lot of friends(actually they are from Microsoft where hubby works) that are veggers. A few are vegan. My biggest problem right now is BBQ recipes for the vegans. Tofu dogs and garden burgers etc. are getting old. We are having a huge party on the 27th and I need ideas. If it would help, the vegans are from India. I'm told that I should write a bit about myself for an introduction. There's not a whole lot to tell. I live in Puyallup, WA which is about 30 miles south of Seattle. I don't work. I'm very lucky in that I don't have to if I wish. As I said earlier, my hubby works at Microsoft. I am very definately a m--t and spuds type of person although there are a lot of things that I love that doesn't contain animal protein. I don't know what else to say. I'm glad to be here and am positive that you all will be able to help me out. Thanks so very much, Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Hi Mary - Especially with bbq, shishkebobs are nice. Use large whole veggies like cherry tomatoes & mushrooms and cut big chunks of things like zucchini and onion (my 2 favs on shishkabob) and grill them on the skewer. Tofu chunks are great too - you will have the most success with an extra firm tofu - tofu accepts marinade really well & is very tasty and fun! You can use a store bought marinade (teriyaki, bbq sauce, whatever) or just some soy sauce and ginger and maybe garlic. If you drain and press the tofu first, it will have room to absorb the marinade. Or an even easier way - Nasoya & other companies have tofu already marinated and ready to go - haven't tried it, myself. There are also tofu " steaks " that are very firm and are flavored already, which you could use. Depending on your flavor themes you can also add fruits to your kabobs! I believe there are several marinade recipes in the files & vegweb has some barbecue recipes also. Good luck, m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
