Description

Jeff Novick taught us how to create healthy meals or a burger for that matter,  just by using 5 basic ingredients – beans, oats, brown rice (or any starchy vegetable), tomatoes ( or liquid for moisture), and spices.

By following this basic recipe and varying the beans, the starch, the moisture and/or the spice you can make dozens of varieties of burgers.

Method:

1. Mash kidney beans and chickpeas with a potato masher. Do not use a blender or food processor.
2. Add in the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly.
3. Divide into 4 or 5 equal parts and shape each part into a burger.
4. Let sit for a few minutes in the refrigerator to set.
5. Grill on the pan or broil on each side until golden brown.
