Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 50 grams Rolled oats
- 60 grams Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 medium Red onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Whole grain burger buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
- 4 pieces Cheese slices (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, mash the drained kidney beans with a fork or potato masher until they are mostly smooth but still slightly chunky for texture.
Add the rolled oats, breadcrumbs, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed beans.
Crack the egg into the mixture and mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined. The mixture should hold together; if too wet, add more breadcrumbs as needed.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty, about the size of your burger buns.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the bean patties in the skillet for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
If using cheese, place a slice on each patty in the last minute of cooking and cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt.
Toast the whole grain burger buns if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a bean patty and the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately, enjoy your delicious and satisfying bean burgers!
