Vegetarian Cheeseburgers

It has been way too long since my last post - my sincere apologies!

Now that I have a little more spare time on my hands, I thought it was about time to post a new recipe. Tonight I made vegetarian cheeseburgers - one of our weekend favourites at the moment.

Here's what you'll need for these:

400g can red kidney beans (drained and rinsed, roughly mashed with a fork- not too mushy!)
1 small brown onion (finely chopped)
100g grated low fat cheddar cheese
100g breadcrumbs
1 egg
plain flour, for dusting
1 tbsp vegetable oil
salt and pepper to taste

Burger buns
White onion, sliced
Tomato, sliced
Iceberg lettuce
Tomato sauce

1. Combine all of the above (with clean hands is easiest)... it should form a chucky paste. Divide mixture into 4 or 5 balls and roll in a little flour. Flatten and shape into burger style patties.

2. Heat oil in frying pan on medium heat and fry gently for 8-10 minutes, turning once.

3. Assemble burgers, and enjoy!


TIPS:

• You can add any other trimmings that take your fancy - cheese slices, mustard, aoli, beetroot... you name it!
• If you are luck enough to have a food processer, use it to blitz your onions and kidney beans respectively. It's so quick and you won't get onion eyes :)
