Vegetarian BBQ - The Lemon Tree

Barbecue season is well and truly upon us and as a vegetarian, this is a time of year I always dread. In the past, BBQ food for me has consisted of very little more than a soy based meat alternative, not very exciting. However over the years I've acquired a list of vegetable based BBQ recipes that both vegetarians can enjoy. 

So here it is, my top 3 meat free BBQ foods (ingredients listed):

3. Carrot & Sesame Burgers.

Carrot and sesame burgers are delicious, light and colourful - a great summer dish.

Fresh Year...Fresh Menu!

Probably everybody I know has healthy eating on their list of new years resolutions and many of us will probably stick to it after over indulging throughout the Christmas period.

Even though we are looking to change our lifestyles we still like to eat out and dine in nice restaurants. With the majority of people wanting to start the new year off by being more healthy and eating fresh it may be the time to change your menu to be more accommodating?

If your menu is mainly burgers, pub food, steaks etc why not add a section of salads, freshly made sandwiches and homemade soups? I personally would find this delightful and it would certainty stop me from choosing the burger!

Blood Oranges coming soon to Lemon Tree Produce

As a premier supplier for wholesale produce, Lemon Tree Produce supply a huge variety of fruit, veg and dairy to hotels, bars, restaurants, cafes, schools, and other food outlets. They are recognised for providing outstanding quality and service, so if you need a trustworthy and reliable supplier use Lemon Tree, they will not disappoint!

Now with a huge range of wholesale fruit and veg, Lemon Tree Produce are continually sourcing new products to add to their list and to ensure the highest quality and range is always available they source from local, regional and international suppliers.

We would like to advertise on behalf of Lemon Tree Produce their new products including Blood Oranges which are super tasty compared to your standard orange. The reason for their unique name is the colour, which is almost blood or flesh like caused by anthocyanins which are found in many flowers but rarely found in citrus fruit.

There are 3 common types of blood orange, the Tarocco, the Sanguinello and the Moro, while other less common blood oranges include Maltese, Khanpur, Ruby Blood, Red Valencia, Vaccaro blood orange and more.

It has not yet been defined where blood oranges originated but many speculations point as China and the Mediterranean as facts state they have been growing in these locations with the 18th century. To achieve the attractive blood colour from the anthocyanins the oranges must be developed in low temperatures during the night.

These little beauties in-fact contain more antioxidants compared to normal oranges because of their blood red pigments and taste even more delicious with an almost raspberry like taste. You may find some to be tarty and others sweet, however the characteristics make a fine choice for making marmalade and the zest and also be used for baking. Another popular dish would be a Sicilian salad which contains blood oranges, bulb fennel and olive oil. You will also find blood oranges in Italian sorbet, gelato and vinaigrette dressings.

If you're thinking about spicing up your menu with some additional, delicious flavour try these mouthwatering beauties. For more wholesale fruit and veg please visit www.lemontreeproduce.com or contact them on 01519314137. Lemon Tree produce can distribute to customers across Liverpool, Crosby, Cheshire, Lancashire, Merseyside and the North West.
