Best vegetarian meat substitutes for the grill?!
Best vegetarian meat substitutes for the grill?
What are the best vegetarian (and / or vegan) meat substitutes that are good on the bbq?
Answers:
My children like "Tofurkey" brand Italian Sausage. They cook quickly, so keep an eye on them. On weekends like this and the 4th of July, when lots of ppl grill, and you want something to throw on there as well, these really are a great alternative. We usually grill some onions and bell peppers too, to make it a complete meal.
We also like Thai flavored tofu, just make sure it doesn't stick. (we slice it and drizzle a little sesame oil on it, then grill it on some foil)
I personally love the Morningstar Farms patties, both the Grillers and the Chik Patties. The Grillers really taste like hamburgers! I eat them all the time!
Marinated vegetable kabobs. Veggies like peppers, onions, and zucchini grill well.
Fake meats are just a stupid idea...
If you want to eat beans, why do so in the form of a simulated animal corpse?
It is difficult to get the faux burgers to grill up nice. They stick to the grill and usually fall apart. I recommend the Boca sausages. They are about the size of a jumbo hot dog and come in a few different flavors. They also roll on the grill pretty well without sticking or drying out too bad. Not a bad idea to coat them with some BBQ sauce or other marinade.
I love Boca Burgers. They're better than the real thing!
veggie burgers or veggie sausage....yum!
fresh portobello mushrooms. they're tasty and 'meaty'. they hold up well on a grill. just put a little bit of olive oil salt and pepper and you're good to go!
I don't wear a fake Rolex, wear knock off designer jeans, play poker for no money or surf in a swimming pool. I just don't understand the 'psuedo' simulated meat products.
Grill eggplant, baby zuchinnis, or even Napa cabbage. Corn in the husk is brilliant also.
Tofu/tempeh and veggie kebabs! Yum. And I love doing mushrooms Greek-style, drenched in olive oil and lemon. I also like the Tofurkey sausages. It's funny, cause I always hated real sausage, but I like the Tofurkey ones. If I eat the veggie burgers, I prefer the ones that don't try to taste like meat, like Amy's California burger. It's also nice to just take a big square slab of marinated firm tofu, grill it, and put it on a bun with terikayi sauce and arugula. Mmmm....
veggie and fruit kabobs
Portobello mushrooms. Yumm. I also like most vegs grilled with spices and in some lemon- or lime juice.
trout or salmon
veggie burgers!! they are delicious
Many veggies grill great...like eggplant, mushrooms etc. As far as the faux meat, I like boca burgers and the occasional veggie dog.
