I'm more of a carnivore but not everyone is. I had to quickly try and make a veggie burger for someone who I didn't know was vegetarian. Easy peasy veggie burger, using what was in my fridge.

Tip
'appy daze - I like spice so I add chilli flakes into the mixture. I serve mine with sweet potato wedges and my homemade tomato sauce.
