Vegan Beet Burgers

I'm not a huge fan of tubers, but I'm married to an Australian. Wait! That didn't come out right! What I mean is that some Australians (for reasons I'm sure someone will one day explain to me) like beets on their burgers (eggs too, but we'll not go there).

Anyway, here's how to satisfy your mates without harming an animal.
