• Divide mixture into 4 equal portions, and roll into balls with clean hands.

KIDNEY BEAN VEGGIE BURGERS

Steps:

• i made twice the amount of onions and mushrooms and used the other half to top the burgers. sauté them in a little oil with a sprinkle of salt and garlic powder till they're soft.
• in the mean time mash the beans and mix with the egg, cheese, and spices.
• let the mushroom mix cool a little so it doesn't immediately cook your egg then stir into the bean mix.
• add bread crumbs a bit at a time until you have a nice solid mixture you can shape easily.
• shape into 8 patties (not 6 big ones, trust me), and chill in the freezer for 15 min.
• fry in a little oil on med-low heat until nice and brown. i topped mine with swiss cheese, cooked mushrooms, fresh spinach, and aioli on a ciabatta bun. yum! i think the texture might be better with mashed red lentils, we'll have to try that. i think any kind of bean would work fine for this (except maybe garbanzos since they have more of a fish texture when mashed). i have the rest of these still in my freezer as cheep, healthy, easy standby food.

CANNELLINI (WHITE BEAN) VEGGIE BURGERS

Steps:

• Rinse and drain the can of white kidney beans, or if you prefer to use dried beans, cook 2/3 dry cup of them ahead of time. Use 1 whole egg, or separate two eggs, discarding the yolks.
• Put everything on the list into your food processor and chop until you reach the desired consistency-- a total puree, or a rougher chop that still has some whole pieces of beans in there.
• Scoop the mixture into a bowl and refridgerate for 20-30 minutes, it's okay if it stays in longer.
• Form patties with your hands, you'll get 4 large ones or 6 smaller ones (which I prefer because I eat them on English muffins.).
• Heat some olive oil on a frying pan, adding more as needed (mine tends to evaporate after a few minutes) to cook each patty for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
• Serve on your favorite buns/breads with the fixings you like. I particularly like these with ketchup or marinara sauce.

THE ULTIMATE VEGGIE BURGER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Slice tofu into 1/4-inch-thick slabs and pat dry with paper towel. Arrange tofu on one half of a rimmed baking sheet; brush both sides with oil. Spread mushrooms on the other half of the baking sheet; toss with 2 tablespoons oil and salt and pepper.
• On a second rimmed baking sheet, toss beans and grated beet with 1 tablespoon oil and salt and pepper, then spread the mixture into one layer.
• Transfer both baking sheets to the oven. Roast bean-beet mixture, tossing occasionally, until beans begin to split and beets are tender and golden, about 15 minutes. Roast mushrooms and tofu until golden and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 25 minutes. Let everything cool.
• Place nuts in a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground. Add cooled bean-beet mixture, mushrooms, tofu, panko, cheese, eggs, mayonnaise, scallion, garlic, pimentón and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Pulse until ingredients are just combined. Pulse in tempeh and rice but do not overprocess. You want small chunks, not a smooth mixture. Scrape mixture into a bowl and chill at least 2 hours or up to 5 days (you can also freeze the burger mix).
• When you are ready to make the burgers, divide mixture into 6 equal portions and form each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick. Return to the fridge until just before grilling. They grill better when they start out cold.
• Heat the grill. Cook the burgers over a low fire until they are charred on both sides and firm when you press on them, 4 to 6 minutes per side. If they start to burn before they firm up, move them to the sides of the grill to finish cooking over indirect heat. Alternatively, you can cook these on a grill pan or in a skillet over low heat.
