BBQ’s Do Not Need to Mean Meat! – Advice and Recipes to Ensure You Cater Correctly for your BBQ Guests
Lisa Drummy the Director of Beanie’s Health Foods gives her top tips for catering for vegetarians and meat reducers at BBQ’s and we have also noted several tasty veggie burger and hot dog suggestions below too.
1/ Ensure that you have separate cooking facilities for non meat eaters. It is easy to do and not that expensive for an additional small BBQ to ensure peace of mind for your guests.
2/ Keep cooking utensils separate – It is not great to turn your veggie burgers with what just prodded the steak.
3/ Read the ingredients of your veggie burgers and sausages. Many non meat eaters may not eat eggs or could have a dairy allergy – ensure that your veggie options are suitable.
4/ Impress your veggie guests. Have a look for something different – veggie kebabs with polony, vegan friendly hot dogs with ketchup, or spiced burgers – just because they don’t want meat doesn’t mean that they want to be left out!
5/ Make sure that you make enough non meat options. We hear stories constantly of veggie guests who arrived late and the meat eaters devoured all of the non meat options!
