Tasty Bean Burger Recipe
These bean burgers are very simple to make (especially if you have a food processor), cheap, healthy and versatile. You can make them big for an adult meal, medium sized to go in a burger bun or small bite sized for kids. It's a cunning way to get kids to eat protein if they are vegetarian or simply not keen on meat. The beans are also a lot less expensive than meat, so they're ideal for students, any one on a tight budget, or any one who has better things to spend their money on....These are tastier and healthier than most prepared/processed veggie burgers.
Makes enough to feed 2 adults, or 4 kids.
You can freeze the burgers - shape them before freezing and then defrost them before frying. <Great Tasty Burger Recipes>
Ingredients - Tasty Burger
* 2 tbs olive oil plus more for frying the burgers* 1 onion, chopped finely
* 2 cloves garlic, sliced finely
* 1 tsp cumin seeds (optional)
* 2 tbs chopped parsley (coriander is a tasty alternative, but burgers are still tasty if you don't have any herbs)
* 1 x 400g can black-eyed beans, drained and rinsed (cannellini beans are a good alternative)
* 50g fresh breadcrumbs
* 1 egg
* Pinch of chilli powder (this adds flavour - put as little or as much as you like, or leave it out altogether)
* Seasoning <best Tasty Burger Recipes>
Instructions - Tasty Burger recipe
Heat the oil and soften the onion and garlic, covered, for 5 - 6 minutes. Add the cumin seeds (if using) and cook for a further 3 minutes. Off the heat stir in the parsley and the beans. Mash until smooth, or blend in the food processor. Stir in the breadcrumbs and then the egg, mixing thoroughly. Season to taste with chilli powder, salt and pepper.Shape into burgers of your choice of size, using breadcrumbs if you have extra or flour to coat them and stop them from sticking to wherever you are preparing them. Fry them in hot, shallow olive oil for 3 - 4 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.
Serve inside fresh burger buns, with a little chopped salad and a slice of cheese; or with chips and chunks of cucumber and cherry tomatoes; or however else you like... Enjoin This Tasty Burger Recipe:
