Potato & Kidney Beans Burgers
As a fourth year student, I get a lot of free time. Meaning I can spend more time preparing my dishes, which is really awesome 🙂 I was seeing all over the internet all these veggie and vegan burgers and thought ‘wow, I should do the same !’. I absolutely love vegetarian burgers, they’re so versatile. Here’s a recipe I “created” this friday as I had no lectures.
Ingredients
- 330g of baby potatoes
- 120g kidney beans
- 1 cup of spinach
- Mixed herbs, cumin, salt, pepper to season
- 1 small egg
Method
- Boil the baby potatoes or steam them. You can follow my method: peel the baby potatoes, put them in a plate and cover with two layers of cling film. Microwave it all on full power for approximately 10 minutes, or until cooked and soft (my microwave has a 700W power). NB: Make sure you leave a small hole on the side (my mom taught me this good technique if you don’t have a steamer – you can even cook meat or chicken in less than 12 minutes!).
- Using a similar method, steam canned kidney beans in the microwave. Follow the guidance on the can for the time needed.
- Humidify the spinach with a little bit of water, then steam it in the microwave for about 2 minutes.
- Mash the potatoes, kidney beans all together. Add in the spinach, then season with cumin, mixed herbs, salt and pepper. Add a small egg and mix everything.
- Using the mix, form small balls and flatten them.
- Cook on a non-sticking pan until golden, on both sides.
- Enjoy ! 🙂
