The Veggie Burger

Looking for a fibre-some meal look no further! These are jam packed burgers, easy to make and great to have as a meal prep option as they last very well and don’t leave off any funny smells! The texture of both are very satisfying, I even fooled one person into thinking it was meat( although he was drunk so I’m not sure that counts) I served these with some parsnip fries, roasted in some coconut oil, salt , pepper and thyme. The perfect “fakeaway” !
