Method

  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a shallow saucepan over a medium flame. Tip in vegetables, seasoning and soy sauce, then cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 mins until soft. Tip veg into a food processor with the beans, cheese and bread, season, then pulse to a thick paste.
  2. With wet hands, mould mix into 8 burgers. These can be kept in the fridge for 2 days or frozen, stacked between greaseproof sheets for up to 2 months.
  3. To cook, heat oil in a frying pan and fry 2-3 mins on each side until crispy. Serve with toasted buns, salad, ketchup and mayo.

    I used maroccan 'ras el-hanout' and the taste was fab, but the burgers were too soft to keep their shape. I managed to fry them brown but eating them in a bun was a bit messy. Maybe the vegetable-mixture was too wet? How could I prevent this? I added quite some extra breadcrumbs, but that didn't help much...

    I agree that the burgers were too soft. They were more like a tasty veg puree. My one year old was impressed but the rest of the family didn't like the sloppy texture. Also, soya sauce with moroccan seasoning???

    I also think these burgers aren't so good. They're really soft en sloppy and turn out like a greasy veg puree. I also think the soy sauce is a little dubious combined with the cheese. Sorry, I like almost every recipe but this one just doesn't cut it.
