Directions
This burger is hot and cool at the same time. The flavors are inspired by what I would like to eat after a day at the beach—something that’s hydrating and satisfyingly savory. The chickpeas, lentils, and carrots add juiciness to the chewy cashews and the earthy spices. Topping the patty with hot kimchi next to a cool Dill and Mustard Cashew Sauce, with the addition of smooth and cool avocado, makes this a perfect contrasting-taste experience.
