The bean burgers are a tasty and flavorful vegetarian main course to serve with a side of vegetables or a mixed salad. They are also ideal for bringing legumes to the table in “disguise” if you have kids who don’t like them, but also an alternative way to prepare them that is not the usual soup, broth, or large salad.

Blend well to obtain a smooth mixture. Transfer it to a bowl, grease your hands and form the burgers then coat them in breadcrumbs.
