A Barbecue Cooking Recipe That’s Completely Vegetarian

A vegetarian barbecue cooking recipe that’s packed full of the flavors of the Mediterranean and has to be one of the best BBQ tapas appetizers I’ve ever tasted.

I'm calling it tapas because it makes for a tasty finger food appetizer but it's probabaly closer in texture and flavor to a Greek eggplant salad. Certainly if you choose to serve the dish lukewarm then this is a typical way of serving food in Greece

Put simply we're going to cook the aubergine (eggplant) and peppers on the grill until soft and then make a paste with chunks of pepper in the mix.

This is so simple, just make sure your BBQ’s running hot hot hot!

Ingredients:-

• 2 Aubergines
• 2 Red Peppers
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• Juice of half a lemon
• salt and pepper
• pinch on chili powder
• chopped fresh coriander
• French bread to toast

Method:-

Prick the Aubergines with and fork and place them on the hot grill together with the peppers. Let them char and blacken for about 30 minutes turning regularly then throw them into a zip seal plastic bag (or use a bowl and cover with stretch film) and leave them to cool.

Slice the Aubergines length-ways and scoop out the flesh into a food processor. Peel the black skin off the peppers, slice into long strips and throw into the bowl discarding the stem and seeds. Bung in all the other ingredients except for the French bread and blitz. Transfer to a serving bowl and leave to cool.

Slice the French bread and toast lightly on the BBQ (you can also rub with peeled halved clove of garlic) and then spoon on some of the aubergine and pepper mix.

And there you have it - great tapas. Eat one quickly before they get gobbled up!
