Gotta love a burger and sometimes that doesn't have to be the usual beef burger in a bun with cheese and the whole shebang. Although I've gotta admit that is pretty darn good too, especially this Big Mac and Fries Fakeaway<\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But sometimes I just love a light burger than I can serve up for lunches with a salad or take on a picnic if we have a planned day out and that's where these Red Pesto, Sweet Potato and Tuna Burgers are perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea came about for these when I had the usual leftovers that I didn't want to waste. Some leftover sweet potato mash, and a couple of tbs of red pesto in the jar as we had enjoyed pesto pasta for dinner a few nights before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the best recipes come from where I combine some leftover ingredients together into something else. Not always combinations I would usually put together, but oddly they just taste delicious and really work. I mean who on earth would put red pesto and tuna in a burger with sweet potato - that of course would be me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
