Our KWF Recipe Developer Extraordinaire, Colin Brett, recently shared this customer and staff favorite. We love theseย burgers because they’reย bursting with earthy notes from local mushrooms! The cashews add a buttery texture and shaved citrus brightens the rich mushrooms flavors. Enjoy them on a bed of kale or your favorite greens!
