Tuna & Chick Pea Burger
Serves 4 in 40 Minutes
Tuna out of a can smells like cat food to me but hey it's one of the best proteins you can get and low fat. All food is good but some well quite frankly tastes horrible but there is a way to tone down or over power those less appealing notes of a flavour.
