Main course - 6 persons - preparation time of 40 minutes
Ingredients
- 425 grams of organic red kidney beans
- 1 onion
- 125 grams of mushrooms
- 1 large carrot
- 2 tsp paprika powder
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 2 tsp thyme
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 90 grams of oatmeal
- 2 tbsp tomato puree
- salt and pepper
- 3 tbsp flour
- burger buns
You can use anything for the sandwiches. Top the burger with your favourite toppings. A great option is to use:
- rucola
- tomatoes
- organic tortilla chips
tsp means teaspoon and tbsp means tablespoon.
Preparation
- Finely chop the onion and mushrooms and coarsely grate the carrot.
- Saute the onion in the pan for 2 minutes, until translucent. Then fry the carrot and mushrooms until the carrot is soft.
- Place the beans in a colander and rinse them. Place them in a large bowl and mash well with a potato masher.
- To the mashed beans, add the fried onion, carrot and mushrooms. Add the paprika, cumin seeds, thyme, soy sauce and oatmeal and mix well.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the bean mixture into 6 equal balls, and flatten to make burgers.
- Put the flour in a plate. Dip the burgers one by one in the flour so that they are covered.
- Pour some olive oil into a frying pan and let it get hot. Then put the burgers in the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, until crusted.
- Put the burgers on a bun, and add the rest of the topings as desired.
Enjoy!
