Bean Burgers

hey everyone,

been having a lovely relaxing day, only left the house to do the school run.

have done a bit of painting, got the house sorted (although looking round now, you wouldn't know, my kids are very good at making a mess) and made some Bean Burgers.

I think part of raising children vegetarian is showing them that they are not missing out, they can have a burger if they like :o)

Ingredients:

1tbs of olive oil

1 onion, finely chopped

1 garlic clove, finely chopped

a couple of sprigs of chopped parsley

6-8 mushrooms finely chopped

a tin of beans, i normally use kidney beans but most beans will work well.

salt and pepper

plain flour for dusting

burger buns for serving

Heat oil in frying pan, add onions and cook till soft.

add garlic and mushrooms, cook till soft, set aside.

drain the beans, mash with a fork, stir in the mushrooms, onions, parsley and season with salt and pepper.

shape the mixture into patties and dust with flour.

heat some oil in a pan and fry the burgers till they have a nice crispy coating.

serve in a burger bun with cheese tomato ketchup and anything else you might fancy :0)

I'm looking forward to trying some other burger recipes soon ...
