Vegetarian kidney bean burger

Ingredients

For the vegetarian patties:

• 4 oz cooked kidney beans
• 1 onion
• 1 garlic clove
• a little water
• 1/4 cup flour
• 2 Tbsp rolled oats (optional)
• 1 tsp ketchup

For the burgers:

• 2 burger buns
• 2 slices of cheese
• 1 tomato
• 1 onion
• 4 pickles
• 4 lettuce leaves
• mustard
• ketchup

Materials

• Electric chopper

Preparation

• Put the drained kidney beans, peeled onion and garlic clove, and a little water in the chopper bowl. Blend well.
• Transfer to a bowl, add all the other ingredients, and mix well.
  
• Heat some oil in a pan (use more than you would for regular ground-beef patties). Add 2 mounds of the bean mixture and roughly shape them into patties.
• Cook for about 8 minutes over medium heat. If the patty isn't cooked through, it won't hold together. Flip the patties and cook for another 5 minutes.
  
• Thinly slice the onion, tomato, and pickles. Cut the burger buns in half and toast the cut sides in a hot pan. Set aside.
• Take the bottom half of the burger bun and spread some mustard on it. Add ketchup and place a slice of onion on top.
  
• Place your red bean patty on top.
• Add a slice of cheese, then a slice of tomato, and some pickles.
  
• Finish with 2 clean lettuce leaves, then place the top half of the bun on top. Use a wooden toothpick to hold the burger together.
• And there you have it, your vegetarian burger is ready!
