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.
