Chilled Vegan Salpicón Tostadas
A vibrant, fully plant-based take on the classic Mexican salpicón de res — traditionally a chilled shredded beef salad served on crispy tostadas. Here, tender rehydrated soy curls (or shredded king oyster mushrooms) stand in brilliantly for the meat, soaking up a tangy oregano-vinegar dressing spiked with a touch of nutritional yeast for savoury depth. Tossed with crisp romaine, juicy tomato, peppery radishes, briny green olives, and sweet onion rings, this refreshing salad is assembled at the table — guests simply pile the chilled filling onto crunchy corn tostadas and top with creamy avocado and pickled jalapeños. Because everything is served at room temperature or straight from the fridge, it is the ideal make-ahead dish for outdoor parties and summer buffets.

Grilled Chickpea Fries with Lemongrass Maple Marinade
Crispy, golden panisse-style chickpea fries — naturally vegan and gluten-free — finished on the barbecue for smoky char and brushed with a clear, fragrant lemongrass-maple marinade. The secret is two-stage cooking: a pan-fry builds the crust that lets them hold on the grate, and the light marinade goes on at the grill, not before. Plan ahead — the base needs at least 2 hours in the fridge (overnight is better) before it can be cut and cooked.

Jackfruit Fajita Bites
Smoky, flame-kissed pulled jackfruit fajita bites made entirely on the BBQ — no oven, no hob, no indoor steps needed. Young green jackfruit stands in brilliantly for beef: dried well after rinsing so it chars and crisps at the edges rather than steaming. Pepper and onion strips go straight onto the grill grates for that essential fajita char, tortillas warm on the grill in seconds, and everything is finished with fresh lime and creamy avocado. Sized for a party — makes 24 one-or-two-bite hors d'oeuvres that guests can grab with one hand while mingling.
