Recently, I made an amazing sushi burger. There was only one problem, to eat the burger in a, let’s say sociable way :). So I’ll start with a simpler recipe which is always a go when you’re having company :). The grilled and exotic rice-lentil burger. It tastes amazing and is high-carb low fat since you roast it. The dates and exotic spices are essential for the yummy and exotic flavour.
