Amazing BBQ-able Vegan Bean Burgers
Every BBQ needs a decent bean burger. This one keeps vegans and everyone else who loves a burger happy!
Servings: 10 burgers
Ingredients
- 1 tin black beans (standard 400g tin size)
- 1 tin kidney beans
- ½ cup (100g) dried soya mince (Do not add water to this!) this is sometimes called TVP or hamburger helper, depending on where you are in the world
- 2 Tbs ground linseed mixed with 6 Tbs water Also known as flax seed. This works as a binder and helps the burgers stick together when grilling.
- 2 teaspoon oregano or thyme use fresh or dried
- 4 cloves garlic very finely chopped
- 2 Tbs sunflower or pumpkin seeds roughly chopped
- 1 medium onion very finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon chilli sauce optional but yummy. Add more if you like it hot!
- 3 Tbs BBQ or Tomato Sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Finely chop the onion and garlic. Roughly chop the sunflower & pumpkin seeds.
- Add the beans and roughly mash
- Add all the other ingredients and mash & mix to combine.
- Let the mixture 'rest' in the fridge for around 20mins. This will allow the soya mince to re-hydrate and once cooled, the mix will be easier to work with.
- Make into patties- these can be large or small, I like to make them around the same size as the palm of my hand.
- You can grill these straight away, or chill or freeze until needed. If you BBQ them, brush with a little oil to prevent them from sticking.
- Serve on a bun with all the trimmings.
