Bean Burgers with Feta

Ingredients:

​

1 x 400g can cannellini beans

1 x 400g can aduki beans

200g potato, cooked (microwaved for 6-7 mins)

1 tbsp garlic paste

40g kale, sliced finely

1 leek, sliced finely

1 tsp ground cumin

30g breadcrumbs

1 egg, beaten

100g feta cheese 

150g panko breadcrumbs for coating

Oil

​

Method:

​

• Preheat oven to 180C and line a large baking sheet with parchment. 

• Drain and rinse the beans and add to a large mixing bowl. Have the egg and panko crumbs in two bowls, ready.

• Add in the potato, garlic, kale and leek. Mix well.

• Add in the cumin, feta and breadcrumbs. Mix well.

• Form the mixture into patties. Make sure the mixture is really compressed.

• Dip each into the egg and then the panko crumbs. Lay on the prepared baking tray.

• Once all the patties are formed, put the tray in the fridge for 20 mins as this will help them firm up.

• Once out of the fridge, drizzle with oil and put in the oven to bake for 25-30 mins or until golden brown.

• If you prefer to fry them, then fill a large shallow frying pan about 1/3 with oil & fry until golden on both sides.
