The ultimate veggie burger that satisfies any burger craving, this Beet Burger is a delicious and zingy combination of capers, and orange packing this dish with all the benefits of the classic pub fare.
As you know, I have a fascination with beets. Red beets, golden beets, candy beets. Beets. Now in season and with an endless possibility of allergy alternations, we were in awe of creating something beautiful. We aimed to create a recipe that highlighted the beets, the deep rich colour and the earthy tones devoured with each bite. This gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, soy-free vegetarian burger boasts a layered, meaty and chewy texture.

A lot more filling than I expected. The hint of orange pairs nicely with the beets! Great vegetarian burger option.
