Veggie Burger
A patty that holds together and tastes of something. Thirty-five minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 cans rajma or black beans, drained
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 6 garlic cloves
- 1 carrot, grated
- 2 tsp cumin, 2 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 4 burger buns
- Cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, sauces
Method
- Dry the drained beans on a tray in the oven or a pan for 8 minutes. Wet beans are the reason most veggie burgers collapse.
- Fry the onion, garlic and carrot till soft and dry.
- Mash two-thirds of the beans, leave the rest whole for texture.
- Mix with oats, vegetables, cumin, paprika, soy and salt. Chill 20 minutes.
- Shape thick patties and press a dimple in the centre so they don't dome.
- Fry 4 minutes a side without moving them. Cheese on for the last minute. Toast the buns in the same pan.
