Artichoke White beans Burger

Do you know someone that doesn’t like a good veggie Burger? I think even meat eaters will admit that from time to time a veggie Burger is just the perfect thing to enjoy!

In this one I use white beans and artichokes, but you are free to be creative and use any kind of beans you wish or veggy. Kidney beans goes well with paprika and coriander, Black Beans, shitakes and lot’s of garlic or the classic lentil mushroom combo is also perfect. 

Remember this recipe when you make your next Barbecue and I promise you this is much better then any market ready veggie patty.
