Beanburger Puffs Food

BEANBURGER PUFFS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to fan 180C/ conventional 200C/gas 6. In a large bowl, roughly mash the beans then stir in the herbs and chilli sauce, and most of the cheese (save a handful).
• Open out the pastry on to a floured surface - you need a 30x40cm rectangle, so you may have to roll it out a bit further. Then cut into three strips, each 10x40cm.
• Roll the bean mixture into long sausages and line down the centre of each piece of pastry. Dampen one long edge then roll up tightly to enclose the filling. Cut each length into four to give a total of 12 rolls.
• Place join-side down on a nonstick baking sheet, brush with a little egg or milk and scatter over the reserved cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes until puffed and lightly browned. The filling may ooze out a little, but if you leave them on the tray for 5 minutes while the cheese cools, any oozing will set, making the rolls easy to lift off. Eat warm, or leave to cool on a wire rack and serve later.

BEAN BURGERS BASE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425ºF.
• Place beans in a large mixing bowl and mash until almost smooth or leave slightly chunky.
• Add bread crumbs, herbs, extra virgin olive oil, onion, egg, salt, pepper, and any optional mix-ins. Mix until combined.
• Brush a baking sheet with oil or use pan spray. Create 6 patties with your hands or using the help of a portion scoop and place on the pan, spaced at least 1" apart.
• Cook 8-10 minutes or until cooked through and slightly brown on the edges. Serve on toasted buns with desired toppings. Enjoy!

ANY BEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse the beans until coarsely chopped, then transfer to a large mixing bowl. Pulse the walnuts in the food processor until finely chopped, then transfer to the mixing bowl with the beans. Add the breadcrumbs, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, egg and 2 tablespoons of the BBQ sauce and mix well. Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts. Shape into burger patties and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. Brush the top of each burger with the remaining 1 tablespoon BBQ sauce. Cook the burgers BBQ sauce-side down for 3 minutes. Flip and top each with a slice of cheese if using. Cover and cook until the cheese is melted and the burgers are heated through, about 3 minutes. Place the burgers on the buns and top with desired toppings.
