Ingredients

• 1 large Beetroot grated
• 2 cans (400g each) Canned Black Beans drained
• 1/2 cup Besan flour
• 1 large Onion finely chopped

Instructions

1. 1

   
   

   Grate the beetroot and set aside.

   
   

   Chop the onion finely and fry in a pan with a little oil till translucent then set aside.

   
   

   Set aside a 1/2 cup of the black beans and mash the rest in a large bowl

   
   

   Add the 1/2 cup of black beans you reserved and mash the mixture just enough to break them up a bit.

   
   

   Add the grated beetroot, the onion, salt, smoked paprika, psyllium husk (or ground flaxseed) and the besan flour and mix well. Let sit for a few minutes.

   
   

2. 2

   Take about 100 g of the mixture and shape into a patty about 2 cm thick

3. 3

   Using a cast iron frying pan or a non stick frying pan fry the patties in a little oil for about 5 - 6 minutes on each side until browned.

   Serve on your preferred burger bun with whatever toppings you like with your burgers. I like to add some fresh rocket leaves, tomato, and vegan mayo.
