Nothing says summer like a burger on the BBQ. And portobello burgers are the way to go if you're looking for something thick, juicy, and filling. They're easy to prepare and don't take long to cook. Served with a quick pesto made of kale, basil, and hemp seeds, they're a real treat! Hemp has more than a few nutritional benefits, which makes it a no-brainer addition to this summer dish. Its seeds are a source of protein, minerals, vitamins, and fibre, but most importantly, feature a high concentration of omega-3 and 6 fatty acids! We love to sprinkle them in salads and smoothies, or use them to transform a quick pesto into a nutritional powerhouse.
