Every year to celebrate the summer and our backyard, I invent a new recipe for the grill. This year we’ve been trying to cut back on our red meat consumption and so I concocted this recipe that is so big on flavor, that you’d never miss the meat. These can be prepped ahead of time and frozen if desired, but please give additional time to the grilling process. Top these with crunchy spiced fried onions and you have a flavor bomb between your bun!
