Veggie burger

Ingredients for 2 burgers for 1 very hungry human:

• 280g red kidney beans
• 30g tomato paste
• 10g paprika powder (sweet or smoked, or a mix of both)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

• olive oil
• rye bread
• mustard
• 1 red onion
• 1 tomato
• mild cheddar cheese

Methods:

• Prepare the beans (defrost or drain from the cans). Into a bowl add the beans, tomato paste, paprika powder and salt. Mix forcefully with hands, squashing most of the beans. Once you have a homogeneous ball of bean mass, split it into two equally sized balls.
• Pre-heat some olive oil in a frying pan. Place the bean balls onto the hot pan and press them into flat burgers. Brown them on both sides.
• Meanwhile, toast two slices of rye bread.
• Slice the onion, tomato and some cheese.
• Spread mustard on both slices of bread. Place onion slices on top. Top with burgers.
• Use the still hot pan to melt the cheese. Top the burgers with melted cheese and tomato slices.
