About

This is an incredibly simple burger, and it’s a perfect illustration of how potato can function so well as a binder, particularly when paired with starchy red beans. As with many other vegan burgers, this is one you don’t even have to cook, but of course you’ll want to, because cooking with the pomegranate sesame sauce creates a tart and nutty glaze on the burger that makes it very unique.
