Getty Bean Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse the beans until coarsely chopped, then transfer to a large mixing bowl. Pulse the walnuts in the food processor until finely chopped, then transfer to the mixing bowl with the beans. Add the breadcrumbs, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, egg and 2 tablespoons of the BBQ sauce and mix well. Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts. Shape into burger patties and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. Brush the top of each burger with the remaining 1 tablespoon BBQ sauce. Cook the burgers BBQ sauce-side down for 3 minutes. Flip and top each with a slice of cheese if using. Cover and cook until the cheese is melted and the burgers are heated through, about 3 minutes. Place the burgers on the buns and top with desired toppings.

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine beans, onion, bell pepper, egg, bread crumbs and cilentro.
• Blend ingredients, adding additional bread crumbs if needed to make mixture dry enough to shape into patties.
• Form mixture into 8 patties.
• Patties can be made a day ahead and refrigerated to help them set well.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet, and fry four of the patties, about 2 minutes per side.
• Repeat with the remaining 4 patties.
• Place each patty in a toasted hamburger bun.
• Top with salsa and guacamole.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Tip the butter beans into a bowl and mash with a fork to form a rough purée. Set aside. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a small frying pan and add the onion and garlic. Cook over a gentle heat for 3-4 mins, until softened.
• Stir the onion mixture into the butter beans, along with the cheese, then season. Shape the mixture into 4 patties, cover and chill for 10 mins.
• Put the cherry tomatoes in a small roasting tin and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 10-15 mins, until tender.
• Tip the flour, egg and breadcrumbs onto three separate plates. Roll each patty in the flour, dusting off any excess, carefully roll in the egg, then finally coat in the breadcrumbs.
• Heat remaining oil in a non-stick frying pan and add burgers. Cook for 8-10 mins, turning occasionally until golden. Drain on kitchen paper and serve with the roasted tomatoes and rocket.
