Red Lentil Burgers: Vegetarians Love BBQ's Too!

It's officially (not technically, but…) summer here in CT, and that means it's BBQ time! There's not much better than a lazy, hot, summer afternoon spent cooking out, as far as I'm concerned. But, I think it goes with out saying that typical BBQ fare isn't very vegetarian friendly - burgers, hot dogs, steaks, chicken, the list goes on. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy an occasional grilled turkey burger, or chicken kebabs, or especially grilled salmon, but it can be hard to find alternatives to meat at many backyard BBQ's.

Easy and delicious vegetarian!

One of my favorite go-to Foods for easy vegetarian dishes is eggplant - its hearty and really goes well with a variety of flavors. a couple of years ago I stumbled upon a recipe for stuffed eggplant - made with meat of course, which I don't eat. But it Is pretty simple to take a carnivores recipe and make it into a vegetarian one, you just have to make sure to substitute something hearty in to replace the meat, to maintain measurements and textures.
