Ingredients
2 tbsp Olive oil
1 number Onion, diced
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Curry powder
0.5 tsp Chili powder
1 number Carrot-grated
400 gram Butter beans-drained, rinsed, mashed
0.75 tbsp Tahini paste
1 number Eggs
1 cup Breadcrumbs
Directions
- Heat 1 tbs of oil in a pan on medium heat. Add the diced onion, stirring now and then, and cook for 6-8 mins until very soft.
- To this add the cumin, curry powder and chili powder and cook until fragrant, less than one minute.
- Add in the grated carrot and cook for 2 minutes, or until carrot is just starting to lose its shape. Set aside in a bowl and allow to cool.
- Once cooled, stir through the mashed beans, tahini, egg and breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper and shape into four burgers. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Heat the rest of the oil in the same pan on a medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, until gold and crisp to preference.
- Assemble into a burger with whatever you want!
