Stocking your pantry with dry, canned and non perishable food items like lentils, beans and rice? Put them to use by making a deliciously wholesome, protein packed vegan burger with all the tasty trimmings.
In preparation for weeks of social-isolation amid the coronavirus pandemic, many of us have built up a collection of non perishables like nuts, canned beans and rice.
