Light and original snacks from vegetables and fruits for a picnic in nature

The whole summer is ahead - the time for outdoor recreation and picnics. Of course, such events are not complete without a laid table. We usually cook kebabs, but why not move away from tradition? We invite you to try original, tasty and healthy snacks made from vegetables and fruits. No meat! As additives - cheese and spices.

Grilled vegetables

We are used to grilling and grilling meat or fish. But vegetables prepared in this way are in no way inferior to protein foods. They are light, fragrant, and healthy.

Grilled vegetables - an easy, tasty and healthy snack

You will need:

• 1 zucchini;
• 2-3 tomatoes;
• 2 onions;
• 1 red bell pepper;
• 50 ml soy sauce;
• salt to taste;
• coriander greens for serving.

Cooking process.

1. Slice young zucchini into thick circles. Cut the stalks from the pepper, remove the seeds, cut the pulp into cubes. Peel the onion and chop into thick rings.
2. Combine soy sauce and some salt in a bowl. Put the vegetables there, mix and marinate for 15–20 minutes. Do not pickle tomatoes cut into circles.

3. Distribute the pickled vegetables evenly on the wire rack, tightly to each other. Spread the bell pepper in two layers. The vegetables should be the same height throughout the grill. Clamp the grate and place it over the coals in the grill.

   

   Grill chopped vegetables on both sides

4. When the vegetables are baked on one side, turn the wire rack over. The total cooking time is 15 minutes.

5. Carefully remove the vegetables with a fork and, without stirring, put them in rows on a dish. Cover with a salad bowl for 5 minutes to soak the vegetables. Then sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve.

   

   Let the vegetables steep and soak in the juice, then serve.

Mushroom burgers

Don't be surprised by such a funny and strange name. Mushroom burgers are mushroom burgers, or rather mushroom hats, which replace buns. It is not only tasty, but also nutritious.

A mushroom burger is a low-calorie burger made with mushrooms

You will need:

• 16 champignons;
• 1 bell pepper;
• 250 g tofu cheese;
• 1 eggplant;
• 1 tomato;
• lettuce leaves;
• any marinade to taste.

This number of products is calculated for 8 mushroom burgers.

By the way, you can use not only champignons. When we get out into nature, we cannot do without picking mushrooms. Champignons do not grow in our forests, but they are full of white, aspen, russula and butter mushrooms. No, butter mushrooms are not suitable for mushroom burgers, but the caps of white and aspen mushrooms are just fine. It was with them that I first tasted these original burgers. Just keep in mind that the caps should be small, so large mushrooms will not work.

Champignon caps are very handy for making mushroom burgers, but other mushrooms will do.

1. Wash the mushrooms, separate the legs from the caps. Marinate the caps in whatever you like, such as a mixture of honey and soy sauce.
2. Also marinate small pieces of tofu cheese. Cut the tomatoes and eggplants into slices, and the pepper into slices.
3. Place vegetables and tofu on the grill, fry on both sides. Now start collecting the mushroom. First, a mushroom cap, then pepper, a slice of tofu, a circle of tomato, then an eggplant and a leaf of lettuce. Cover everything with the second mushroom cap and pierce the mushroom burger with a thin wooden stick to hold all the pieces together.

Collect all 8 mushroom burgers this way and enjoy the delicious taste.

Soy kebab

Meat kebab is a good thing, but you can replace it with soy. It is not only much cheaper, but also tastes just as good, not to mention the benefits.

Soy kebab is not inferior in taste to meat

Take these products:

• hops-suneli to taste;

The preparation looks like this:

1. Place the soy chops in a bowl, pour boiling water over them, toss in the bay leaf and let sit for 1 hour. Then drain the water. You can even boil the steamed chops for another 5 minutes, so they become softer.

   

   First let the soy chops steep in boiling water.

2. Chop the garlic with a knife, cut the onion into thin circles.
3. Put some of the soy chops in another bowl, sprinkle with garlic, turmeric and suneli hops. Then add a layer of onions, more soy chops, again garlic with seasonings. Drizzle with vegetable oil, soy sauce, and wine vinegar. Season with a little salt.
4. Now cover the bowl with a lid and shake gently to combine. Leave for about 30 minutes to marinate everything.
