Beet this Burger

This is the $500.00 grand prize went to The Vegetarian Voice (NAVS

magazine).

Lifetime society member Olinda Cho-Forsythe developed this recipe. Olinda is

in

the kitchens of the Gran Fraternidad Universal, a fraternal organization

world peace and to promoting the vegetarian diet through its centers and

restaurants

throughout Latin America. The burger has the unusual addition of 1 tablespoon
