Black bean burgers

What you need

• ·240g black beans
• ·120g frozen edamame
• ·40g porridge oats
• ·80g onions
• ·70g wholemeal bread
• ·1 avocado
• ·8g ground spices (cumin, paprika, turmeric)
• ·8g olive oil

Method

1. 1Drain the beans and DRY them on a tea towel. Wet beans make a patty that falls apart in the pan, every time.
2. 2Mash two thirds, leave a third whole, and work in the edamame, oats, finely chopped onion and spices.
3. 3Shape two thick patties and fridge them 15 minutes. Skipping this is the other reason they fall apart.
4. 4Medium heat, oil, 5 minutes a side, turned once only.
5. 5Toasted bread, smashed avocado, patty.

Oats rather than breadcrumbs, because everyone has oats. They also hold better.
