Procedure for Legume Burgers
The procedure is very simple because, apart from small preparations, everything goes in the mixer.
Boil the potatoes and cut them into pieces. Then add all the ingredients (except the oil) to the mixer and form the burgers with your hands. If the mixture is too sticky, add some more breadcrumbs.
Use the oil to grease a pan and cook the burgers on each side for a few minutes. Let them cool slightly to firm up.
Boil the carrots in water and salt and cook the rice separately.
Now add all the ingredients to the mixer, except the oil, (do not add more salt).
Use the oil to grease a pan and cook the burgers on each side for a few minutes. Let them cool slightly to firm up.
