Notes

Vegan Mince: For this recipe, I used a vegan mince made of jackfruit and pea protein. You can find the exact one I used here.
Substitutions: You can substitute with sunflower mince +120 ml vegetable broth or simply use 200 g cooked rice, sautéed mushrooms, potatoes lentils or simply add more beans instead. (all options without the vegetable broth)
Homemade Bread Rolls: I used my oat potato bread rolls recipe for the burger buns.
Tzatziki: I used this easy tzatziki recipe for the burger sauce.
