Can you cook anything on a bbq other than meat and fish?

[schnapps]

I'm thinking vegetables and pototoes or other starchy foods. Basically wondering of I could cook a whole meal on a bbq. Any suggestions?

veggie kebabs and sweetcorn are lovely done on the bbq

not sure about potatoes

Of course
although you may need to par boil some bits.

One I like to do is New potatoes, par boil, put in a parcel of foil and drizzle with olive oil and spinkle rock salt, pepper and fresh rosemary on. Wrap it up and BBQ!

Also roasted veg, peppers, courgettes, onions, etc or do veg kebabs.

A naughty pudding idea
slice a banana down the middle in the skin and put in some of your favourite chocolate (I like to use dairy milk or galaxy), wrap in foil and let the chocolate melt
Yumm!

All these are ok if you have a big BBQ though.

Wrap the potatoes in foil so they don't burn. Just like cooking a baked potatoe in the oven. Same for corn on the cob. I expect other veggies could be cooked the same way, though I've never done it. Carrots, courgettes, onions, etc.

Thank you for the replies
oh of course - vgetable kebabs - how simple, how could I forget those!
I've also heard of the chocolate bananas but had completely forgotten about it, thanks for reminding me.
The potato thing sounds nice, will try it.
Would love to be able to cook something startchy without pre-cooking though, it would just be so simple to cook a whole mean on the bbq

Put mushroom, chopped up pepper, onion, courgette chuncks, cherry tomatoes on a stick & roast. I have a small charcol bbq & it works fine!

...last line should obviously say meal reather than mean!

I tell you what else is nice,
there is a sauce called Maggi. Looks a bit like Soy sauce and tastes similar, comes in a glass bottle.
Drizzle that on to your veg, tastes fab!

Oh and do the JO thing with fish. Wrap it in newspaper, cover with rock salt pepper and oil and any other bits you like, tie with string and cook. Gives the fish a lovely smoked flavour.

we often cook whole meals on the bbq, but I must say, if we're having bbq meat/fish we tend to have it with bread and salad, so no other actual cooking required. Sometimes do veggie kebabs though.
Naan or similar flat breads are great warmed on the bbq - we used to get huge ones spiked with kalonji from the Indian grocers, brush with oil and bbq till hot and crusty outside and all soft and steamy inside. Or heat pittas till they puff, then split and fill

Halloumi cheese

Mushrooms - get the large open ones, dot with butter & garlic, wrap in foil and put on coals at the end

Like Mrs Badger, we just have bread and salad with whatever we're eating

Yellow Feathers did you know that the main ingredient in that sauce is Monosodiumglutmate? Use with caution!

make 'hockey pucks' cut potatoes (regular or sweet) into rounds about an inch think. par boil them til they are almost done but not quite.
Brush with oil, season and put them on the grill.
Dee-lish!

a frein of mine does fruit on the BBQ - cut up fruit lie [eache, pineaplles, strawberries etc and wrap in silver foil with a bit of sugar and put on BBQ while you're eating main course and eat with cream or ice cream, - yummy.
I've seen special silver foil bags in Sainsbury's to do this with. You could also do veggies in them I guess

paneer (indian cheese) - skewer chunks with veg and marinate, or make paneer burgers.
mogo (cassava chips) - parboil, bbq then serve with salt and chiili powder
sweet potatoes - chop them, parboil for ten mins, then cover in olive oil, salt and tabasco, then bbq the chips.
stuff mushooms with a mixture of chilli, soft cheese, garlic, etc.

appples - another dessert idea, whizz some walnuts, glace cherries, brown sugar, ginger, almonds, butter and amaretto in a blender, then spoon the mixture into the core of cookign apples, wrap in foil then bbq til soft.

garlic bread, jsut make it, then wrap in foil and bbq.

crispy pot skins - bake potatoes, cut in half, scoop out the middle. Fill the skind with spring onions, cheese, or wahatever you fancy and bbq.

aubergine is nice bbqed too, slice it and then melt cheese over it.

I do compelte meals, and cook some in advance for the next day too. We'll have burgers or whatever, then those sweet pots are really nice served up with jerk chicken and pineapple, and I juSt microwave it all the day after!

I stuff courgettes with stilton or goats cheese and walnuts or raisins, whatever you fancy really, brush with oil and wrAP IN FOIL AND PUT STRAIGHT ONTO THE HOT COALS FOR ABOUT 20 MINS. sorry must have hit caps lock.

My brother taught me a new one last week - corn on the cob - it's fantastic on the bbq! also chicken, bacon (rolled up) and vegetable/fruit kebabs are great, we had these when we were camping - a whole meal in one go

you can cook anything on a bbq.
I've done my sunday roast on one in the pissing rain! So English

Potatoes - start em of in microwave, wrap in foil bung on bbq.

new potatoes - par bpil, wrap in foil and drizzle with olive oil and s&p.

or put new potatoes on skewers woith bits of veg, so skewer a potato, then an onio wedge or a shallot, then a piece of red pepper, then a mushroom, then a corgette slice and so on.

mushroom - slice and bung in foil with butter, garlic and parsely and seal up in bundle and bung on. Same with tomatoes but add a bit f sugar, some balsamic vinegar and s&p.

corn on the cobs

aubergine and mozzerala wraps. cut aubergine lenthways, brush with oil. put mozzerala on and roll up and keep wrapped with cocktail stick.

slice a banana with knife nad stuff bits of cholcolate buttons in side and bung on bbq.

this is a really fab thread, I shall consult it each time I'm doing a bbq as my dp and dss are veggies, keep them coming please!

Stuffed peppers are good too, I stuff with cous cous and alonds and raisins, bush with oil, wrap in foil and chuck on coals.

Put mini marshmallows between 2 choc chip cookies wrap in foil and bbq, delicious

wrap potaotes in foil and cook them in the coals.

vegetable kebabs, peppers, courgettes, onion, asparagus, anything you like really.

Alright I'm going to be the first yank to say it: SMORES! Oh they are so yummy. Roast two marshmallows (don't burn them!), get a chocolate bar (Hersheys not essential) and place between two graham crackers.... mmmmmmm
