THE RECIPE COLLECTION
Make vegetables the centre of your barbecue. Start with a mixed grilled vegetable platter, then explore cuts, side dishes and a menu that gives every ingredient room.
Choose your vegetables with the grill in mind. The shape of a piece affects how easily you can handle it, while a basket may suit pieces that would fall through the grate. Our mixed vegetable recipe provides one complete starting point; the cutting guide helps you think through the preparation. Keep ingredients in manageable groups so you can move each one when it is ready.
For a vegetable-led table, pair the platter with ember potatoes and offer a dressing separately. A fresh salad or bread can complete the meal without competing for grill space. Check every accompaniment if you are cooking for vegetarian or vegan guests: sauces and toppings can include dairy or other ingredients they avoid. Our menu ideas are suggestions, so adapt them to your guests’ needs.
Read the ingredient list, method and notes on each recipe before starting. The photographs illustrate the ingredients and atmosphere, and the original recipes are AI-assisted starting points that have not been independently kitchen-tested.
