Spicy Bean
Burgers
Core recipe
2 spring onions chopped
1 small carrot grated
small amount of red chilli, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
small piece of red pepper chopped
some petit pois
1 tsp tomato puree
cayenne pepper, chilli powder or any spices you fancy!
Basicly put a spot of olive oil or frylight in a fry pan on a low heat (if using fry light add a bit of water to help everything soften as I find it evaporates really fast) add all ingredient apart from beans. Allow to soften for about 5 mins, just so onion and garlic is not raw.
Mash the beans in a bow till they go slightly creamy in texture - i used a fork.
When the other stuff is softened tip it in the bowl with the beans, add the tomato puree, spices (i used about half a teaspoon of chilli powder, cumin, but really use whatever you fancy)
Mix well, you could add an egg at this point if you wish but mine was a bit sticky so though best not.
Shape into burgers of any size you wish, I rolled mine in some semolina, but only if you like, then fry gently in olive oil/frylight, or even put in oven till golden brown.
