I rarely do a barbeque, but a veggie barbeque can be a fine thing. When I'm here in Finland during the summer, a few barbeques are a must. This time I just char-grilled some vegetables, halloumi and rye bread, and that made a very filling meal. I have been eating quite a lot in general on this holiday, so a small diet could be in the cards when I get back to the UK, a healthy diet with affordable pulses etc. Okay, but back to the BBQ theme now.
Here are the components of my meal this time:
- new potatoes (pre-boiled), I could just barbeque new potatoes alone, they get divine after a bit of char-grilling
- bell peppers
- aubergine, rub the aubergine slices with barbeque seasoning and oil
- new season onions
- tomatoes, I put the tomatoes into additional foil bags, as they get very soggy
- halloumi
- rye bread, a must in a Finnish barbeque and so tasty slightly grilled and eaten with some butter
As a veggie barbeque drink I could recommend the Finnish Olvi Hiili 4,5 %, a very dark beer that actually tastes a bit like coal.
What kind of veggie barbeques have you been having?

No BBQ's, but plenty of picnic style food. Hope your having fun, the weather in the UK has changed from blazing sunshine to drizzle.
ReplyDeleteOh, I would love to have a picnic still this summer. We shall see how the weather is. It has been pretty good in Finland now, around +20C and sunny.
