Vegan Burger Patty

Who needs meat when we have vegan burgers?Well,the vegan burger is the best option if you want to enjoy a delicious meal but also a cruelty free meal.I am not 100% vegan,not the pure vegan but I'm learning everyday.And I found out that vegan burgers can be really tasty.I accept that the ingredients of this burger are not so appreciated like the kobe or angus but I think you should give this dish a try.
Beside,everyone has leftover boiled vegetables .So next time when you have some boiled vegetables and you don't have any idea how to use them,try the vegan burger.
My serving was not a real burger because I'm on permanent diet and I try to avoid bread,sauces and other high caloric stuff but you feel free to serve the patty in a nice grilled bun with some bbq sauce.
Note:If you don't like any of the ingredient I used you can remove or replace it.Also,you can add more vegetables.The recipe is so versatile .

Difficulty:medium
Servings:7 patties (less or more,depend how big you want them)

Ingredients list:
1 cup boiled chickpeas
1 cup boiled red beans
1 boiled big potato
1 boiled big carrot
1 onion finely chopped and saute in a table spoon of oil
1 table spoon of whole grain flour or white flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Cooking steps:
Note:If your vegetables are not boiled ,start boiling it in salty water until they are tender but not mushy.Saute your finely chopped onion in a table spoon of oil.Allow all the vegetables to cold before blending them.

Put all the ingredients except the flour in a blender and pulse until you get a paste .If the paste is to runny,add 1 table spoon of flour.

Divide the paste in equal parts and shape your patties in a burger shape.I got 7 patties but you can get more or less,depending on the size of your burgers.

Note:The paste can be sticky and difficult to shape so you can grease your hands or dust them with flour.Because oil has to my calories for my budget I used the flour.

Cover a baking tray with baking paper and preheat your oven at 180 Celsius.Put the patties in the tray and bake them for 20 minutes.You ca turn them after the first 10 minutes of baking.Because the ingredients are already boiled we don't have to bake the patties for to long.

Now,the serving options.
If you are like me,counting each calorie for each salad leaf then serve the patty with few slices of tomatoes and some onion.

But if you don't count calories,serve your patty with a nice grilled bun,some delicious burger sauce and why not,some melting vegan cheese.
Enjoy your meal,enjoy your life!
