Description
If you like pumpkin, this burger is sure to be a highlight! The homemade buns with aromatic spices alone are delicious. On top comes the patty made of pureed pumpkin and crunchy apple spaghetti. The interesting combination, where the light sweetness of the pumpkin harmonises perfectly with the slightly sour freshness of the apple. If you like it savoury, add a slice of ham on top for a strong contrast to both. Try it out and let yourself be surprised by the little aroma journey!

Mash the braised pumpkin and mix with oat flakes, chopped parsley, chopped pumpkin seeds and egg yolk. Season to taste with salt, pepper and chilli.
