http://www.foodiesite.com/recipes/2000-10/beanburger10.xml

I am going to make a version of these tomorrow. Have dried beans soaking tonight. No red kidney beans, but have red lentils which I will add to help with colour.

Burgers

* 400g canned kidney beans
* 400g canned haricot beans
* 2 garlic cloves crushed
* 4 tbsp coriander, finely chopped
* 1 tbsp dried oregano
* 3 tsp pimiento (smoked paprika)
* 1/2 tsp chili, ground
* 2 tsp cumin, ground
* 1/2 tsp cinnamon, ground
* 1 tbsp soy sauce
* 3 tbsp tomato paste
* 100g plain flour
* maldon salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

1. Burgers: Drain the canned kidney beans and haricot beans and place them in a large bowl. Add the garlic, coriander, pimiento, chili, cumin, soy sauce and tomato paste. Mix the ingredients together until well combined. With a potato masher or the back of a fork a crush the beans well so that they are crushed together with the ingredients but still have some form. With a wooden spoon mix in the flour and seasoning until the mixture is firm. Dust a large tray with flour and take large handfuls of the mixture and form it into firm burger shapes with your hands, dusting all sides well with flour. Place the burger on the floured tray and repeat the process until you have four burgers. Cover and refrigerate the burgers until ready to cook (they can be prepared a day in advance).

# To Cook the Burgers: Heat enough olive oil in a large frying pan so that at generously coats the base. Place the frying over a moderate high heat. When the oil is hot place the burgers in the pan and reduce the heat to moderate. Cook the burgers for around 5 minutes on each side so that they are golden brown and heated through.
# Preheat a grill to high. Remove the burgers from the pan and place them on an oven proof tray. Place 2-3 slices of haloumi on each burger and place them under the preheated grill. Cook the burgers for 1-2 minutes until the haloumi has melted, remove the burgers from under the grill and serve.

These were good, just had them for our (late) main meal.

I've not had Bean Burgers before, so had to question Mark about their taste and texture.....he's not good at feedback, apart from "Nice!"

So, the one's he's had have been more processed, mine where obviously less mashed (I used a masher type thing, not the food processor). he said the taste was good, so will try food processor next time and see if that is preferable.

I enjoyed mine, there are two left for tomorrow's lunch.

Oh and the ketchup I made the other day is very good too
