Vegatable Kebabs
Discussion
Im cooking for a vegetarian(yuk)this week, So thought I would do a simple greek salad with vegatable kebabs. Now question is would a marinade work in the same way it does with meat?I beleive Meat holds flavours due to texture and creases, do vegatables hold the flavour aswell? Need tips and advice to spice up my kebabs and any recipe ideas would also help. Thanks Guys!
Barbecuing concentrates the flavours of things like courgettes, onions and peppers, so don't worry too much about marinades.
Mushrooms soak up flavours, so you could marinade those. Simple olive oil, crushed garlic, and some herbs would do it.
I'd get some corn cobs on there as well. A pale imitation of 'proper' Man Food (ie. meat with a bone sticking out) but at least you can pick them up to eat them.

A few months ago I moved in with my girlfriend (wife-to-be) and her two daughters, and they're all veggies. Now, if it isn't hard enough as a staunch meat eater thinking about what to cook, it turns out that they're not too keen on vegetables either!
The girls don't really like tomatoes, and all thre of them detest aubergines, courgettes, cucumber, mushrooms, squashes, pumpkin.... imagine the task of trying to construct a menu for that lot!

Reading your profile, you really are a glutton for punishment aren't you? As if the South Pole, the North Pole, and the Marathon des Sables weren't enough?

the best choice has to be nice bitsize chunks of quorn.
tofu can be better for absorbing flavour, but it takes some practice to know how to prepare, so that it does not fall apart and I imagine it is hard to get decent tofu in UK
Failing that mushroom, potato, bell pepper and carrot - but that sounds boring, I would coat the f
kers with cajun spice first or something equally interesting.
honestly as a vegetarian, I think that kebabs are lame without meat
some meals adapt well to vegetarianism, some don't
