Barbeque help

Options
Sorry Mods, wasn't sure where to post.

I've organised a bbq for tomorrow and someone is veggie. I don't want to cook their food with the meat - I can use half of the grill plate for meat and half for veg but would prefer a better solution if anyone can advise.

Also, what kinds of food should I do? (Don't want to spend a fortune)
Love MSE, Las Vegas and chocolate!

    Cant think of an alternative for you , unless you buy a small disposable one. Cous Cous is nice with roasted peppers, there,s an Ainsly harriet Morroccan Cous-cous which is supposed to be fabby

    Pick up these almost anywhere, depends what shopping facilities yo have, ASDA, TESCO, POUNDLAND, MORRISONS should all have them around now. Flavoured rice is also a good filler for veggie guests

    You can buy things to sit inside the bbq, my mum has a frying pan type thing designed for fish really and my brother has a tray but I dont see why you cant put on an old baking tray, something not non stick would be better I think.

    Love cooking veggie stuff on the bbq especially kebabs!

    Quorn bangers are half price at Tesco at the moment. Sweet potato wedges are nice - par boil them first and then grill, also the mini corn on the cob, (defrosted and served with butter or lime juice and salt) Also you can stuff big mushrooms with a garlic stuffing (breadcrumbs, oil, garlic and the stalks whizzed together). Wrap in foil parcels and BBQ for about 10 mins. Don't forget to have a separate serving platter for the veggies - dh doesn't always remember!!!!!

    Sort the veggie out first and the rest will follow.

    Cauldron Foods do a nice line in sausies if you can gete them in your aprt of the world. Quorn burgers are always a good bet
