Method
- STEP 1Take a foodprocessor & place all of ingredients, evenly divided in it. All of the beans, oats, scallions, beaten egg, smoked paprika, a bit of sea salt, a few grinds of black pepper & grated cheese in it. Add a drizzle of the EVOO. Blitz it all together for a few seconds. Blitz again if necessary. Then, take a chopping board & a clean plate.
- STEP 2Flour your hands & make burgers of the mix. Reflour your hands agian & again. Don't make the burgers too big otherwise they could fall apart. I make smaller balls & flatten them out a bit so that you will have about 10 burgers of 5 cm x 4 cm, each 1 to 1.5 cm thick. You can make these hours in advance. This is also easier to do. Place clingfilm over the top & place into the fridge for a few hours, 2 at least.
- STEP 3Just before eating, take the burgers out of the fridge. Remove the clingfilm. Take a large non stick pan & pour 1 thin layer of the fruity EVOO. Heat up on high. Be careful for the hot oil.
- STEP 4When hot & sizzling, add the bean burgers. Fry on one side until the burgers are ready & brown on one side & carefully flip them over. Fry on this side for a few minutes. Adjust the heat if necessary.
- STEP 5Serve on your favourite hamburger bun & your garnishes!! Keep the burgers warm.
- STEP 6The cheese is a bit goowie & ...they are spiced up & kicking!
- STEP 7Enjoy!
