Veggie Burgers (with potatoes and black-eyed beans)

A great left-overs dish when you've made too much mashed potato and you've got some other bits and pieces hanging round the fridge - in this case, some extra black-eyed beans.


Makes: 4 burgers
Cost per burger: 0.90 zl (0.15 GBP, 1.6 Danish Kroner)

We'll need:

- some mash
- some beans
- chopped spring onion
- a pinch of marjoram
- 1/2 finely chopped red chilli 
- salt and pepper
- some old bread
- a handful of basil leaves
- 1 clove of garlic
- rapeseed oil
- 1 egg, beaten
- a little flour

Let's rock!

1. You'll need some mash and beans


2. Add the spring onion, chilli, marjoram and season with salt and pepper


3. Mash it all up


4. In a food processor add some bits of old bread, basil leaves, 1 clove of garlic and season with salt and pepper. 


5. Blitz to make the breadcrumbs. Now you'll have two bowls looking more or less like this:


6. So, now we'll make the burgers. Grab a handful and form a burger. Lightly coat with flour


7. Dip in the beaten egg so it's all coated on all sides


8. Dip in the breadcrumbs and make sure it's well coated. 


9. Oil in a frying pan. Medium heat. Burger in


10. After around 2 minutes, flip and fry the other side for 2 minutes.


11. I like it served simply - with mustard in a bread roll


Magic!
