These BBQ bean burgers are a really bloomin' delicious way to get some healthy plant protein whilst enjoying a meal that's far more exciting than your usual beans and rice. Served on a fresh ciabatta roll, loaded with all the good stuff, these BBQ bean burgers will go down a treat with everyone.
1. Start by adding your beans, BBQ sauce, tomato puree and garlic cloves to a food processor and pulsing until combined.
2. Once combined, transfer to a bowl and add your paprika, salt, pepper and nutritional yeast then stir to combine well.
3. Now, add your flour to the mixture a tablespoon at a time, until you've got a stiff mixture.
4. Separate your mixture into four and, on a floured surface, shape each quarter into a burger patty. Now transfer your patties to a non stick pan and cook over a medium heat for around 5 minutes on each side.
5. Once cooked through, it's time to assemble, so load your burger bun with a bean burger, hummus, lettuce, ketchup and tomatoes and serve along side some chips because it's not really a good burger unless there's chips, right?

When combined with whole grains such as rice, beans become a good source of protein, also as a ‘complete protein’, which is a source of protein that contains an adequate proportion of all nine essential amino acids necessary for our dietary needs.
