Ingredients
- 200 g dried black beans or a 400g tin of black beans
- 1 courgette (zucchini) grated
- 1 carrot grated
- ½ onion finely sliced
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- ½ teaspoon basil
- ½ teaspoon thyme
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- pinch black pepper
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Method if using dried beans
- The night before, cover the beans in plenty of water and leave to soak. Drain and cover in clean water in the morning until you're ready to start cooking the beans.
- Put the beans in a saucepan and cover with clean water again. Bring to the boil and boil for 10 minutes and then lower the heat a little and continue to cook for another hour. The beans should be a little soft and squash between your fingers when you test them. If they are too hard, cook them for a bit longer.
Start here if using tinned beans
- Grate the carrot, courgette and onion finely. Put in a large bowl and add the seasonings plus the egg. You can use a food processor to grate the vegetables if you want.
- Mash the beans with a fork or blend them in a food processor. Add them to the grated vegetables.
- Mix all the ingredients with your hands and form them into burgers. Put them on a plate and put it in the fridge to rest before cooking them.
- Heat a little oil in a pan and fry the burgers on each side for about 4 minutes until they crisp up.
