SMOKEY VEGAN BEAN BURGERS

So today I was just thinking, Summer is starting to come to an end and soon the blog will be filling with an abundance of Autumnal recipes and pumpkin themed treats! I thought I should probably make the most of the Summer themed meals and what better way to round off the season that with some home-made burgers that you can cook on the BBQ! These don’t just have to be for Summer, in fact, they’d be delicious all year round and you can cook them in a frying pan instead.

The recipe is completely plant based, with the main ingredient being kidney beans. Since introducing a lot more vegan meals into my routine, I’ve been making an effort to include more beans and pulses. These are great sources of fibre and also plant based protein. Not to mention, they’re so inexpensive and can be added into an abundance of different recipes. They’re great in salads, stews, curries, stir fries, soups, dips.. I could go on!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 can kidney beans- drained and rinsed 
• 1 small red onion- diced 
• 1 crushed garlic clove 
• Tbsp Jack Daniels BBQ Sauce 
• 1 medium carrot- grated 
• Pinch of sea salt and pepper 
• 1/2 cup oat flour 
• Pinch of smoked paprika 
• Pinch of chilli flakes 
• Olive or coconut oil for cooking 
• Extra BBQ sauce for cooking 

INSTRUCTIONS

• Place all of the ingredients into a food processor and pulse until everything is well combined and forms a chunky, mush like mixture. You don’t want to completely puree everything, so be careful not to over blend. 
• Mould the mixture into burger patties- I made around 6 but this may vary depending on the size of your burgers. 
• Heat a little olive or coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the pan is nice and hot, add in your burgers and cook until golden and crispy on both sides.
