Kidney Bean Burgers | HCLF VEGAN 

I've been wanting to make bean burgers for a while now and haven't got round to it until now. Once again a spontaneous recipe which turned out very nice in deed. No food processor needed, just a fork and a bowl. All these ingredients are cupboard staples so should be easy peezy to pop together, along with some fresh parley, perfect. 

(Makes 4 medium burgers)

Ingredients:

1 can (400g) kidney beans (plus 1 tbsp juices)

1 bunch fresh parsley

1/2 tsp chilli powder

1/2 tsp lemon & thyme seasoning

1/2 tsp mixed herbs 

1 tbsp tomato purée

1 tbsp oats 

Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius. To a bowl add the drained beans (plus 1 tbsp of the juices), mash with a fork. Add the diced parsley, herbs and spices, tomato purée and oats. Mix together until well combined. Onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper either form patties using your hands or pack into heart or round moulds (I used my heart shaped pastry cutters). Then bake in the oven for 20 minutes flipping half way ( used the grill to speed them up). Once firm and slightly crisp on top they're done! Serve with anything you like, spaghetti, in burger buns, with salad, potatoes, rice, chips, kale chips. Or store in a container and freeze. Enjoy!

I hope you like the recipe and let me know what you think if you make them.
