Hidden Veg Burger

These are a great way to get the veggies in without you even noticing!. These burgers are best baked in the oven so they don’t fall apart but they can be finished off on the bbq - this is Ollie’s favourite way to eat them!

Equipment: Blender (or grater) large bowl, chopping board, 1 oven tray lined with paper, and a knife
