    Instructions

    1

    Prepare a braai to grill the burgers over medium-high heat.

    2

    For the burger patties, place all of the ingredients – except the baby marrows, sunflower seeds and seasoning – in a blender and blitz until just smooth. Remove from blender and stir in the grated baby marrows and sunflower seeds. Season well to taste.

    3

    Divide the burger mixture into 4 and shape into patties. Grill on the braai until slightly charred, 3 – 4 minutes

    4

    For the vegan cashew mayo, place all of the ingredients in a blender and blitz until smooth. Season to taste.

    5

    To assemble the burgers, place a dollop of mayo on each burger-bun half. Top with some lettuce, a patty, avo slices, tomato slices, red onion slices and sprouts. Close the burgers and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.
