i live in the
midwest, and have grown up eating grilled barbecue food for most of my life. i love
portabello mushrooms, stuffed green peppers, homemade brats, and everything in between. i really love veggie kabobs because you can use a variety of veggies to mix it up each time. this isn't really a 'recipe', per
se, but an idea of how us veggie folks grill non-meat style. trust me, it is so filling! pardon my non-plated picture, but i was just too hungry!
veggie varieties:
- mushrooms
- tomatoes
- potatoes
- bell peppers, any color
- zucchini
- yellow squash
- cactus
- corn cob sections
cut all your favourite produce so it is close to bite-sized. find some wooden or metal skewers, and mix and match all your veggies. i use a basting brush, and coat everything heavily in
bbq sauce. if you have too many veggies, toss the
remainders in a grill basket with seasoning salt. make sure to put things like corn and potato slices on their own skewer as they need longer amounts of time to grill. after starting those kabobs, add the skewers with more tender veggies - they finish up in about 7-10 minutes on grill-medium heat.
when everything is grilled, pull all veggies off and eat up. optionally, serve on a bed of rice.
on a side note, i kept wanting to spell 'kebab' - but i guess that is
traditionally more meat oriented. if i would google just 'kabob', it would ask me if wanted to spell 'kebab' instead. but i would google 'veggie kebab', it would ask me to spell 'veggie kabob'. interesting....
