Ocado reveals globally-inspired vegetarian BBQ recipes for summer

We all need ideas and  inspiration for vegetarian recipes.   Vegetarian BBQs are a fantastic opportunity to get creative with food in the summer months. Gone are the days when planning a BBQ meant just cooking sweetcorn and cassava on the BBQ.   With a delicious range of vegetables, cheeses and spices from around the world, a vegetarian BBQ can be a flavour-packed feast complimented by the smokiness of the BBQ coals. Aubergine, cauliflower and padron peppers are all great options for throwing on the BBQ, as are wedges of halloumi or portobello mushrooms.

Working with chefs to develop seven delicious globally-inspired twists on veggie BBQ staples, Ocado has created the perfect guide, including mains, sides and desserts.

From deliciously refreshing Middle Eastern-style tomato and cucumber panzanella, to the ultimate tamarind paneer with chutney and Swedish hassleback potatoes with garlic and fennel and more, here is a BBQ menu sure to impress:
