Recipes for bean dishes

Fozz

As both my DDs have gone veggie now, I stocked up on dried beans,wondered if any of you have any really good recipes using beans.
One I would really like is for good beanburgers, I love the frozen ones you can buy but would like to make my own.
Have gone veggie myself just to see if I can, was tempted by meat at work for the first few days but now am fine and will probably carry on.
DD1 is not pleased because she was the only veggie in the family and reckons we're just copying to annoy her!

Bean Burger recipe no 1

Fry a chopped onion untill soft then add some garlic and fry that for a bit

Add this to some mashed kidney beans (I often use a tin of value beans for this because the price difference between them and cooking from scratch is very little) a good glug of soy sauce, some mixed herbs and then add about a handful of oats:eek: I know it sounds strange but it helps to bind it all together and you don't taste them in the burgers. Leave this mixture for a while to firm up - the oats are soaking up the moisture - then firm into burgers. I get about 6 using my burger press.

Bean Burger recipe no 2 although it does use chickpeas:D

This one was developed for my veggie student daughter
Take a tin of chick peas - drain of the liquid into a cup
Put it into a food processor and wizz then add the contents of a dried packet of stuffing - this is where you now add in some of that liquid from the chickpeas untill you get a firm consistency that you can shape. I now make a variation of adding some frozen peppers with grated carrot and parsnip to the mixture before forming them into burgers. The initial recipe will yield about 6 burgers when I add extra veg I can stretch it to 8/10

Add a chopped pepper and a couple of fresh chopped tomatoes, then pur on 2 tins of chopped tomatoes and youe beans (if they were dried, make sure you prepped per instructions). If the mix is too thick add a bit of water, then simmer for about half an hour. Season to taste..if you find its not hot enough for your liking add a drop of tabasco.
