Instructions
In a mixing bowl, mash the kidney beans with a folk and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 220°C (gas mark 7). Prepare a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Put the rolled oats, mixed nuts and pumpkin seeds in a food processor and pulse until they are very finely chopped.
Transfer the chopped dry ingredients to the mixing bowl with the mashed kidney beans, and add in the rest of the ingredients. Mix with your hands until you get a soft but firm consistency. If it's too dry, add some water (add little by little) to make it moist.
Form 5 patty shaped burgers and place on the prepared baking tray. Brush both sides of the burgers with some oil.
Put it in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown on both sides. If you are using red onions (optional), put them in at the same time. Do not forget to turn over halfway through the cooking!
Yoghurt sauce (optional)
Put all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix vigorously with a folk until smooth and creamy.
Tomato sauce (optional)
Put all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix vigorously with a folk until smooth. Put in a microwave for 30 seconds on the highest power and mix well again.
Assembling to make the burger in a bun (optional)
Cut each bun into half and spread the vegan margarine thinly. Spread some tomato sauce on the bottom part of the bun and place 4 or 5 spinach leaves on.
Spread some tomato sauce on both sides of a burger and place on top of the spinach. Put some Yoghurt sauce on top of the burger, then place one of the roasted onion (if you are using). Close with the top part of the bun and repeat the steps for the rest of the burgers.
