Cannellini Bean and Zucchini Burgers
For this week’s Meat free Monday I made these super quick cannelini bean and zucchini burgers. Served with Beerenberg Chilli Jam (available at Woolworths) and salad, they made a very tasty meal.
Very quick to make, I used only one bowl (= minimal mess & washing up, yeah!) and made them on the weekend, so all we had to do was reheat them on Monday and throw a salad together to go with them (I do love a 5 minute meal!)
I ate 2, my husband had 3. That meant I had one left for lunch on Tuesday, which I had with a tin of tuna and salad. Yum! 🙂
