Handful iceberg lettuce
Sliced cheese
Hand cut fries
Mayonnaise
Ketchup
Tomato Salsa (optional)
Method
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large pan, heat the canola oil and sauté the onion until soft and translucent. Add the garlic, green pepper and continue sautéing until soft. Set aside to cool completely.
In a large bowl, mash the prepared faba beans with a fork. Add all remaining ingredients including the onion, garlic & green pepper mixture, and mix well. Oil your hands and form burger patties. Place burger patties onto the prepared tray and bake on each side for 10 – 12 minutes.
To assemble, spread mayo on each side of the burger bun and place a few slices of iceberg lettuce on the bottom one. Place a slice of cheese and a burger patty. Add a few slices of tomato and top with the second bun. Serve with hand-cut fries, ketchup, and sour cream!
Notes
· To prepare the faba beans, soak overnight in salted water. Drain and pressure cook for about 45 minutes – this is a great consistency for a burger or if mashing. For a harder consistency where you’d use the beans for a soup, stew, etc. pressure cook for 30 minutes as they’ll boil further whilst cooking the recipe.
· You can also breadcrumb the burgers from the outside and shallow fry them. Simply coat in breadcrumbs and pan fry until golden brown on both sides for about 3 – 4 minutes on each side.
