Ingredients
  

  • 150 g Adzuki beans previously soaked for at least 5 hours (it is best to let them soak overnight)
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 carrot grated
  • 1 cup iceberg lettuce chopped
  • 1 egg Or for vegan version: 3 Tbsp ground flax seeds + 3 Tbsps water
  • 2 Tbsps parsley fresh, chopped
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs or chickpea flour, you can also use regular wheat flour – you’ll need it if the composition is too moist
  • salt and ground pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp allspice
  • 1 Tbsp smoked paprika

Instructions
 

  • Mix the ground flax and water in a small bowl and set aside for 5 minutes to thicken.
  • Put the previously soaked adzuki beans in a pot and cover them with water. Let them boil for 40 minutes (or until tender) and don't forget to add 1 tsp baking soda in the water. This way the beans won't cause bloating and will get soft faster.
  • When ready, drain very well the adzuki beans. Put them in a large bowl and using a vertical mixer, mash them a little. Not too much. Whole azuki beans give the burgers a very nice texture.
  • Add chopped onion, parsley, grated carrot, salt, pepper, spices, egg/flax egg and chopped salad leaves. Blend them well together using a fork.
  • Now, the composition has to be sticky and easy to shape the patties. If it is too moist you can add some breadcrumbs or chickpea/rice/soy flour. Start with 2 tbsps and add more if needed.
  • Heat some oil in a non-stick frying pan. 1tbsp of oil is enough. Make the burger patties and put them on the pan to cook. Let them cook about 2 minutes on each side.
  • Serve with anything you like. (tip: they’re great with mustard! yum!)
