This month BOSH! turns five years old, so we’re celebrating by sharing one of our favourite BOSH! recipes ever!
Over the years, BOSH! have shared over 14 burger recipes, and the hungry public recently voted the Healthy Black Bean Burger as their favourite! But in close second was this Big BOSH! Burger, which we all have a soft spot for here at HQ. You can find the recipe in BOSH!, the first BOSH! cookbook we ever published, and we love it just as much now as we did back then.
Check out the recipe below!
