Recipe White Bean Burger with Fennel Slaw
May 16, 2017
Fancy a burger? You won’t miss the meat or need bottled dressing with our mouthwatering White Bean Burger with Fennel Slaw. Creamy white beans and seasonings come together simply and beautifully to make these delicately succulent, savoury patties. Build it on a sprouted whole grain burger bun and top with a light lemon and caper sauce and a refreshing fennel slaw. We dare you not to say “Mmmm…”.
(Fennel not in season? Use more traditional cabbage instead—it’s a no-fail standby that gives all the crunch you need, no matter what time of year it is).
