Tips
Legumes are the best vegetable protein foodstuff and, in general, we do not eat them that much. It would be good to gradually make them part of our daily diet while reducing red and processed meat. Replace sausages or nuggets for vegetable burgers.
Kids can help shape the burgers. These burgers pair perfectly with salad!
