vegemite bean burgers



I made my favourite bean burgers for the first time in the new flat today. I love how easy they are to make, and how I always seem to have all the ingredients for them in my cupboard :smile:

Everything is all mixed together in a bowl, then squashed into six little burgers. They are brushed with a little oil before being grilled for a few minutes on each side.

I like to put them into toasted wholemeal pitta breads with some salad leaves and some lime juice flavoured greek yogurt (or ketchup if i'm feeling lazy!).

I have blogged the recipe for these before, and so I will add a link for anyone who light like to make them too :smile: http://my.opera.com/kirstycat/blog/2008/09/29/bean-burgers-and-spicy-patatas-bravas

This time I made them with a whole teaspoon of dried basil, and that was even better (chopped up fresh basil leaves are what you are supposed to use though!). I also forgot to add the chilli today, but found that they taste just as lovely without the spice! :up:

bean burgers (and spicy patatas bravas)

Last night I made bean burgers for tea. They are really easy to make, and it seems that meat eaters also like them! :up: This is what's in them...(the vegemite just gives the burgers a subtle flavour, and helps to stick it all together)

1 onion (chopped), 1 garlic (crushed), chilli flakes, 1 can kidney beans (drained and mashed up a bit), 1 carrot (grated), 75g rolled oats, 1tbsp vegemite, quarter tsp of basil (or fresh basil)
