Many veggie burgers fall apart. This recipe creates veggie burgers which are easy to make, taste good and don’t fall apart.
Makes 8 patties.
Ingredients
½ cup soaked, uncooked chickpeas
¼ cup cooked black beans
¼ cup cooked navy beans (aka haricot beans)
1 small onion
1 bunch parsley
2 cloves finely crushed garlic
½ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cumin
½ cup oats
¼ teaspoon bicarb soda
Method
Add all of the ingredients to a food processor.
Run the food processor for about 10 seconds or until the texture of the mixture is like breadcrumbs.
Heat a heavy-bottomed pan on medium-high heat.
Arrange some egg rings on your pan. Grease the pan and the rings well.
Dispense about a third of a cup of the mixture into each of the rings.
Fry for about 3 minutes on each side.
Serve the burger with a brioche bun, mayonnaise, onion rings, tomato, lettuce and tomato sauce.
