Even for non-vegetarians, vegetarian burgers can be a delicious choice for a meal. I will almost always choose a veggie burger over a real one. Depending on what you put in your veggie burger, they can be a great thing to add to your diet if you’re trying to lose weight, consume more vegetables, or just be a healthier person.
I found a recipe for a vegan burger on http://www.simpleveganrecipes.co.uk, which I thought was worth sharing. The great thing about this recipe is that it uses no animal products and has beans in it for that extra protein and fibre content. And you can change up the spices a little bit to suit your preferences.
For you vegetarians out there who feel like you miss out on barbeque season, I would imagine you can take this same recipe and grill the burgers rather than frying them. I’m certainly going to try it…once some barbeque weather is here.
Butter Bean Burgers
1 onion, chopped finely
1 red or green pepper, chopped finely
1 carrot, grated
4 oz. (100g) breadcrumbs
1 tin butter beans
Ground cumin
Ground coriander
Chili powder
Soya flour
What to do
Fry onion, carrot and pepper for 5 minutes.
Place them in a bowl and add the breadcrumbs, 1 tsp. each of cumin, coriander and chilli. Add a little salt and pepper, 1 tbsp. soya flour. Mash the butter beans and add them. Mix well.
Form the mixture into 4 thick burgers and coat them with flour.
Fry the burgers for 20 minutes and serve with vegetables.
Serves 2-4
Enjoy – and let me know what you think about it or if you have some good variations.
To your health
