Haven't ever really made these without the help from my mommy previously
So, these made about 18 good sized burgers (talking 1/4lb look-a-likes).
All finely chopped (I used an electric chopper) into a Wok with a bit of Olive Oil in the following order which I then was preparing the next ingredient stirring as I go.
2 Medium carrots
2 Small potatoes
3 large mushrooms
half of large onion
1 tin of drained Kidney Beans
Guesstimated about 2tbps of Worcestershire Sauce
1 Egg
Guesstimated about 50 grams of grated cheese.
(Egg and Cheese were to help it bind)
Stirred it up on a low heat and let that cool in the fridge for about an hour.
Guesstimated about a cup of plain flour, mixed that in and then with floury hands I made them into burger shapes. Put them in a hot oven for about 10 minutes and they were set. And that is the stage the picture is at.
I then put one on the George Foreman Grill - which is the test to see they'd BBQ ok in that state. Came out fine, was well impressed, didn't fall apart at all.
Side notes:
My local shops aren't amazing - I looked at recipes online and basically just found a few decent vegetables and the kidney beans could of been any pulse or bean or even rice. The Worcestershire Sauce was in place of Soy Sauce as I just prefer it. I suppose it could be made vegan getting rid of the egg and cheese, but I am not - my main goal here was to make them bind. Used the above order cus carrots take longer than mushrooms to cook for example - I'm a very throw it all into a Wok type of cook...
I'm sure this can be improved but it was a first try for a BBQ later in the week - I'm probably gonna add spices for my next batch but they wasn't tasteless made as above at all.
