An excellent vegetarian burger.
Unfortunately the mixture was too moist and was unable to form into patties.
Hi Kaz
If the mixture is too moist, feel free to add a little flour of fresh bread crumbs to bring it to the consistency you need.
Ok thank you ????
Sorry didn’t mean to use ???? It was a smiley face
