Sweet Potato, Carrot and Bean Burger
Sort of borrowed from this https://cookieandkate.com/best-veggie-burger-recipe/ Too sloppy to risk on the BBQ so "fryed" them ( in next to no oil ) Original recipe called for black beans but mixed / haricot / kidney etc will do the job (i.e. what you got in the cupboard)
