Does anyone have any suggestions for a really, really, really good vegetarian dish (hah - autocorrect put vegetations instead which I guess is also true!!)?
I'm talking something you'd be as proud to bring out as your best brisket or pulled pork. My brother and sister-in-law are moving to the other side of the country (it's Canada so that's significant) and I have one last chance to blow her away with something from the Q's.
I have build your own pizza (always a winner) as a fallback. I'm looking for something beyond though, not grilled veggies, not smoked vegetarian lasagna. Really something that makes you go 'what on earth was that, so good'.
Even if it is just something you ate somewhere and you can describe the major ingredients, I'm willing to run with that. I have about 6 weeks to get something down.
Meanwhile I'll practice pizza, it's a hard job but someone has to do it!

I have a great Eggplant Parmesan that I do on the egg quite often. Not where i can provide you the recipe but happy to do so. It is actually in my head so would need to put it on paper. I do it in a cat iron casserole. Some garlic bread and a salad..... PM me if interested.Ellijay GA with a Medium & MiniMax

Eggplant Parmesan has always been a really really good option for me. There are several ways to do it and every way is always delicious. Most recipes could easily be adapted to the egg.Kansas City, KansasSecond hand Medium BGE, Second hand Black Kamado Joe Classic, Second hand Weber Kettle, Second hand Weber Smokey Mountain

I'm doing a wedding this weekend where they wanted SOME vegetarian dishes --first thing I did was lacto ferment a bunch of veggies for appetizers, green beans carrots and cabbage...On the grill I will be doing an eggplant mixed grill and Pesto-Stuffed Grilled Portobellos

Hey don't worry, there are plenty of Blaspheme....I mean Vegetarians on here I'm sure of it . Seriously though On the right hand side of the forum there is a list of forums and Vegetarian is one of them. Looks like there are 32 topics in there and there is a Vegetable one with 94 topics. Scroll through and see if you find something you like.

Hmm, I think if it were me I would do a series of small Tapas style dishes. Veggies are usually quick to grill so you could assemble several fairly quickly.
Here's some of my recent grilled vegetarian plates for the summer...
Grilled spring onion bruschetta w/marinated white beans.
Like @northGAcock said - grilled Eggplant Parm is always a huge hit
Spanish tapas style Giant-Bean Salad With Smoked Paprika and Celery (serve over toast or crackers etc)
Grill-Roasted beets tossed with campaign vinegar, olive oil and parsley

straight veggies or do they eat fish as well. if no fish or seafood, maybe baked chili rellenos with crema
fukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it -
I think I'd go George costanza with lobster eggs.

Sorry, a request for vegetarian recipes puts my helpful nature in conflict with a sudden urge to be a smar a.ss.

I don't think you'll get stoned asking for a veg recipe. However, if you post about 1/2" ribeyes or getting a new Platesetter after you broke yours....watch outLocated Middle GA

Others have already mentioned Eggplant Parmesan so I'm late to the post, but here's my version that always goes over well.

I grill my eggplant before making the parmigiana. Sorry if that was in one of the above recipes. I also use both grilled zucchini and eggplant together sometimes. Parmigiana on the egg is killer. You will wow them.

Wowza!! You wanna just come to my place and cook all that and solve the problem for me? Those look absolutely amazing and the plating/photography is superb!
That certainly gives me some great ideas to work with and I really, really look forward to the required experimentation beforehand!!!

Getting some interesting suggestions on another forum as well. One of the more intriguing is a Tofu Wellington...

I like beets, but don't have them often. Haven't tried these yet, but they look tasty. Probably not something that would knock your socks off though.
Surprising number of ingredients.

I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Look up a recipe for Portabllo Mushroom Burgers. It is pretty easy to do and the Mushroom replaces the Meat. She may like that.
