Immune-boosting, low fat, low carb and ready in 15 minutes – can fast food get any better? The weather was so beautiful today that I couldn’t help thinking of summer barbecues, and just had to make one of our favourite burgers. Whilst I didn’t get around the cooking this on on the BBQ, I did eat it outside, surrounded by the first daffodils of Spring. The perfect accompaniment would be crunchy-coated sweet potato fries or tortilla chips and a large green salad.
