Easy Bean Burger Recipe

This bean burger recipe is simple, quick and deliciously healthy!

It could be a scrumptious snack or a mouth watering meal!

With few ingredients and easy cooking method this is a good recipe to make when you want a quick hunger fix.


I serve it with my Green Pepper Relish Recipe which you can have as a side dish or a topped onto a sandwich. Eat my bean burger recipe on their own, in a sandwich or however you like.


We love these healthy bean burgers, why not try this tasty healthy recipe yourself?





Ingredients
1 300g Tin Black Eyed Peas
2 Small Onions (finely diced small)
1/4 tsp Turmeric
1/4 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp Coriander
1 Large Garlic Clove (crushed, chopped)
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper


Getting Started.....


Rinse your beans in some cold water then gently warm them up in a little pan and put to the side. Don't boil them you just want the warmth to soften them up.



In a little frying pan fry your onions on a medium /high heat until they start to go transparent and golden. Add all 3 of your spices and stir well for for a minute then add your garlic and turn down the heat a little (you don't want to burn your spices and garlic), cook for a few more minutes stiring often.




Turn off your heat then place your onion mixture into a mixing bowl. Add your beans with a little salt and pepper (optional) stir well.

Now pour it into your blender and mix.




Place back into your bowl and roll into a ball. Divide into four and shape them into burgers.



Heat up your little pan again drizzle with a little oil and cook for a few minutes on each side until they turn golden brown.



Now your bean burgers are ready to eat.

I made this today and it was really tasty...I did however use my food processor and I think I made it too mushy, almost like a pate' which actually gave me more ideas about how to use it...next time though I will try it in the regular blender like it said...

Unbelievably delicious, and you can do so much with this as a base for a meal!! I put mine in a half-pita with burger toppings, and served with a side dish of salted, roasted veggies. Burger and fries, healthy style! Thanks--will be recommending your blog!

Hi, i've tried making this and it has come out delicious but i have a problem with it, it didnt look like a burger, when i mixed it in the blender it didn't come out looking like a dough, it was sticky and when i fried it, it was soft and kept breaking apart, can u tell me what im doing wrong? Is it the blender? What sort of blender should i use?

Thanks

Chef Jeena said...

Hi Amina,

When you blend click the button for a second at a time so that it blends the mixture little by little into a dough type mixture. You could be blending it too much and too fast.

Also you could try using a mashing and mashing the bean mixture.

I hope this helps.

Wow! My family loved the black eyed pea burgers I made using your recipe. I also made the relish to go along with it, but used sweet potato instead of white potato (I use what is on hand when possible). It was a winner too. Thanks for sharing your recipes with the world. I cannot wait to try another of your recipes.
