I had seen a few vegan burger recipes floating around the web, and decided to make my own a few months after going vegan, just to see if I could.. and surprisingly enough they turned out delicious!
We have eaten these quite a few times now, and it has turned into a weekend treat for us.
I always use my signature bean for the patties - Kidney beans - only because I always seem to have a can of them floating around somewhere. Lentils also make an appearance for this recipe, not sure why I used them, but I think they help with the texture of the patty.
This is one of Travis' favourite meals of mine, and I hope you like it just as much! It is simple, and rather painless, so I'm sure you will do fine :-P

- Combine the lentils and kidney beans and mash them in a bowl with a fork until there aren't very many lumps.
- Add the worcestershire sauce, the cumin, paprika, chia paste and the onion powder (or fresh onion can be used), and mix through the patty mixture.
- Chop up mushrooms, and cook in 1T of the oil until brown, then set aside.
- Make 2 patties out of the beans and lentil mixture, and place in 1T of the oil in a fry pan - they will not hold together very well, so you will need a good metal spatula to scrape and mould them.
- Flip the patties once they start to crisp on the bottom
- Cut up the avocado and tomato, and anything else you like to put on burgers.
- Halve the buns and place under the grill until crisp
Serve as you like! (I also added a little of the cashew cheese i made yesterday..mmm)
