Lentil Burgers, a great healthy alternative.

Lentil Burger Recipe

I thought that it was about time that I introduced some healthy burgers to the mix. This Lentil Burger recipe is only 5 years old, but a favourite. I have quite a few burger recipes and will eventually get around to posting them all. This one in particular is quite healthy and only has a few ingredients. You put the ingredients in a bowl and mix by hand.. that’s it!  I hope you try this one, although it’s not gluten free its still a nice vegetarian burger. This burger also comes with its own sauce recipe as well, so enjoy!
