VEGGIE BURGERS
Burgers are an excellent idea to use left over grains or beans and give variety to our meals. Rice, millet, buckwheat, barley or oats will make very nice burgers as well as beans such as lentils, chickpeas, black, white or red beans. It is important to use some vegetables to add color and taste. Other ingredients that will improve the aroma and taste are fresh herbs such as coriander, basil or parsley and pickles such as olives, capers or gherkins. While the fresh herbs will provide a characteristic and gentle flavor, the pickles will give the necessary salty and acid taste to ensure our burgers do not come out too sweet.
