Try making this yummy veggie burger!
Steps:
1.Purchase hamburger buns.
2.Purchase or make your patties. Cook the patties according to the package instructions or the recipe. If you want to have grilled vegetables as part of your burger, grill these at the same time. Some suggestions include onion, pepper slices, zucchini slices and/or eggplant.
3.Finish the cooking and flip the burgers onto the buns.
4. Add on the vegetables. You can also add cheese if you want. Include ketchup or some other sauce - salsa is a great addition. Add lettuce and a fresh tomato slice if desired.
5.Serve and enjoy.
Tips:
*If you don't like the taste of the Soy/Veggie burgers, marinate them in Red Wine Vinaigrette(or any other vinaigrette dressing) for about an hour before cooking.
Well, you have the makings of a healthy veggie taco

Cut off the stems of the eggplant and cut it in half, lengthwise. Boil in salted water until tender, about 10 minutes. Remove and drain. Scoop out most of the center and coarsely chop the scooped out part and set aside.
Chop 1/2 of a pepper and dice one or two carrots (depending on the size).
In a skillet, heat about a tablespoon of olive oil. Add to it the ground boca meatless beef crumbles, scooped out eggplant, peppers and carrots. Cook over medium flame until carrots are slightly tender. Season to taste. Remove from flame and add one slightly beaten egg, mixing well.
Fill hollowed eggplant with meatless beef mixture. Place in a baking dish with enough water to cover the bottom of the dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350* for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil, add some shredded cheddar cheese on top of the eggplant; return dish to oven for 10 minutes (without foil). Remove and enjoy!
