Steaks, briskets, suckling pig – we've written a lot about delicious grilled delicacies this summer, but one option has always been left out. Vegan grilling is very trendy, because even without beef, pork, and chicken, you can create many delicious treats on the grill.
Whether zucchini, eggplant, or sweet potatoes – the vegetable garden also offers a whole range of culinary delights that, when seared or slowly cooked in aluminum foil over an open flame, promise true culinary pleasure not only as side dishes. For example, instead of salmon or trout, try an eggplant slice or a banana halved lengthwise, prepared beforehand with Rufus Teague's spicy Fish Rub, and let yourself be surprised.

And not only do Rufus Teague's rubs pair wonderfully with vegetables & co., but the grill sauces are also excellent with all kinds of vegan dishes. No matter how spicy you like your vegan food, with our selection from Honey Sweet to Blazin Hot, you're guaranteed to find the right level of heat for every vegan masterpiece.

Are you a fan of chops and schnitzel? Then try eggplant, celery, pumpkin, or zucchini slices as a vegan alternative. Instead of shrimp, you can simply skewer a few sliced mushrooms or other fungi and grill them into delicious finger food, turning regularly. And if you're more of a burger fan, we recommend a homemade patty from pureed beans, easily shaped by hand or with one of our practical hamburger presses.
If you like it exotic, take a cue from our friends in Hawaii, who traditionally like to place a few thick pineapple slices on the grill next to pork and chicken at their world-famous Lūʻau and sear them nicely – a uniquely tropical taste, perfectly captured in our secret tip of the summer:

But no matter what substitute for traditional grilled meat you prefer, we have an absolute insider tip for authentic BBQ flavor:
Liquid Smoke
Liquid smoke is an absolute insider tip among grill fans, especially here in Europe. Hickory wood is burned and the smoke is captured through condensation. The condensate is filtered from potentially harmful residues from the smoke and then bottled with water. The result is authentic smoky flavor from the bottle. Just a few drops in sauces, dressings, marinades, or directly on vegetables during frying transform salads, pan-fried vegetables & co. into authentic culinary delights for all BBQ fans.
