A BBQ is a great opportunity to socialise and relax. Vegan options don’t need to be limited. Food manufacturers now have many ready-made options available, with a wide variety of burgers and sausages. Softer vegetable burgers are usually easier to cook under a conventional grill or oven, but the firmer meat-style products work fine on a BBQ. Jazzing up ready-made products is easy with your own marinade or dipping sauce. Veg*ns don’t want their food cooked where cross contamination can take place so may prefer a separate BBQ grill, or to have their food cooked before the meat is placed on the grill. Remember to use separate cooking tongs too, as would be good practice in the kitchen.

Chef’s tip: If you haven’t tried tofu before – or have but weren’t so keen – it’s worth persevering. Tofu can be bland by itself, but it does take on flavours very well. For this recipe be sure to use firm tofu. If you can find flavoured tofu it will add extra flavour to the dish.
