Past week i made Burgers for dinner back to back. I found a book on Burgers in my local library and found two vegeterian recipes and so i made them. They looked pretty easy to follow and i think they were quite different to what i have eaten so far. The name of the book is "Burgers" by Valery Drouet and Pierre -Louis Viel.
The first recipe i tried was " Burgers with Mozzarella and Bell Peppers".
Ingredients
6 ciabatta rolls
1 yellow bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
1 onion
3 tbsp olive oil
12 pitted green olives
6 tbsp (50 gms)pine nuts
generous 1lb smoked mozzarella
6 tbsp prepared pesto
generous 1 cup arugula
salt
milled pepper
Method
