Beanburgers

Usually vegeburgers fall apart when I try to fry or grill them. These do not and taste great. I think maybe if they were not in burger buns they would taste great with the spicy tomato sauce of the kosheri recipe. Or maybe hot chilli sauce or chutney etc. I did them with sliced tomatoes and a few chips.

Due to great demand the recipe is as follows:

Serves two (makes four burgers)

1 tablespoon of veg oil/ ground nut oil

1 small onion finely chopped

2 garlic cloves finely chopped

1 small red chilli finely chopped and de seeded

1oog chopped frozen spinach (defrosted) I think this binds it together

400g tin of cannelini beans drained , rinsed and mashed

50g of white breadcrumbs (2 slices of bread)

1 tsp cumin

1 tablespoon of fresh coriander chopped

salt and pepper

burger buns , relish and salad to serve

Heat the oil and cook onion, garlic and chilli for 5 mins until softened - this has to be low heat so onions don't burn they just go sweet.

Squeeze the excess moisture from the spinach and put in a bowl.

Mash the beans and mix with spinach, breadcrumbs, cumin and coriander. Add the fried onion mixture and stir together. Season and shape into 4 round burgers. I put mine in the fridge at this point and made salad etc. Grill or fry ( I think fry is best) for a few minutes on either side until golden. Serve in buns with relish.
