Cheesy Bean Burgers
But this was good stuff. Butterbean burgers with cheddar cheese and a little grated carrot. mmmMMmm. And Simon made wedges to accompany it. Delicious. I recommend it highly.
Recipe mostly based on this one http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/586647/cheesy-bean-burgers
Ah yes, cheese makes sense. I made some beanburgers once, with lentils, but although they were nice enough they lacked the essential *grease* aspect of a propah burgah.
Yours look lovely – I like how you always make the effort to have a couple of nice things to accompany them. What made you decide to do veggieburgers though – just health?
I think the cheese was the winner really. The recipe wanted Wensleydale but I just used strong cheddar. Burgers do really need fat and protein for texture and lentils/beans aren’t quite enough in their own right.
My sister was coming for dinner and is a vegetarian – hence the vegetarianism of it.
We made these for the first time a few weeks ago, and they are SO good. No Wensleydale, obviously (I live in a place which allegedly has great cheese, but which actually has about 5 decent types and then a few hundred variations of buttery rubber), but with a decent strongish flavoured cheese, they weren’t half bad. In fact, we had them twice in one week, and risked BBF (Butter Bean Fatigue).
I’m glad someone else has noted ButterBeanFatigue. I definitely think it’s something that not enough people know about or indeed, are avoiding.
I am glad you reminded me of these as I think I fancy making them again!
