Veggie Burger - Simple Recipe

[osella]

Anyone got a simple idiot proof recipe for veggie burgers?

My favourite is just a big flat portabello mushroom with garlic butter smeared in where the stalk is (Remove the stalk obviously) and the baked in the oven for about 10 minutes then put a chunk of mozzerella on top and bake for 5 more minutes. Absolutly amazing and defintly idiot proof

Saute some onion, carrot, courgette etc, any veg will do (chopped small) with some cumin and coriander. Mush up a tin of kidney beans. Mix veg into bean mush, add a bit of flour if too sticky. Squish into burger shapes. Stick under grill. A bit squishy but yummy and healthy!

4oz cooked kidney beans or chickpeas... drained if canned
1oz finely chopped onion
grated carrot
2 tablespoons rolled oats
1 tablespoon of pumpkin seeds
Seasoning.... your choice of herbs, spices, salt & pepper.

1 egg, beaten

• Mash the beans with a potato masher or whizz in a mini food processor until they resemble breadcrumbs.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and enough beaten egg to mix

-IMPORTANT.... leave the mixture to one side to allow the oats and beans to absorb the egg. Half an hour.

• Shape into patties with wet hands and fry on both sides in a little oil. The patties will firm on cooking so don't worry if the mixture is still a little mobile when it hits the pan.
