1 clove of garlic (diced or put through a press)
1 green or red chilli (chopped, seeds removed - unless you really like it hot!
1 large tomato (de-seeded and chopped)
1 tsp of cumin seeds
1 tsp of ground cumin

Plain flour (for coating)

1. Heat around 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a frying pan and cook onion, garlic and chilli on a low heat until soft.
2. Add the cumin seeds and turn up the heat to get the seeds spluttering
3. Once the seeds start to splutter, add the ground cumin and ground coriander
4. Cook for about a minute to let the spices awaken!
5. Turn down the heat and add the tomato
6. Cook for another couple of minutes until the tomato is a little softened and then turn off the heat
7. Drain the kidney beans from the can and then roughly mash in a mixing bowl
8. Add in the onion, garlic, chilli and tomato mixture and stir into the kidney beans
9. Stir in the paprika, lemon juice and coriander (if using) and mix well.
10. Season with salt and pepper to taste
11. Add in as many breadcrumbs as you need to make the mixture reasonably stiff.
12. Shape into 4 burgers and then dust with flour
13. Fry the burgers in the remaining olive oil for around 2-3 mins per side
14. Serve in a toasted bun with a little lemon juice squeezed over, salad and natural yogurt

nope i havent... what i am thinking is that the beans may get mushy as well as the bread crumbs...

this is a very cheap meal to prepare, maybe $2, so you could either half the recipe or just make it, if its not up to her taste then you are only out 2 bucks..lol

Here's another version that we like.

Chickpea Burgers

1 cup chick peas soaked overnight in 1 qt. water
2 cloves garlic minced
1 medium onion grated
1/4 cup flat leafed parsley chopped
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup walnuts chopped fine
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 egg slightly beaten

Using a food processor, buzz the chickpeas first then add remaining ingredients. Mixture should be firm but not dry. To moist, add a few tbsp bread crumbs, too dry a tbsp of water. Scoop out 1/3 cup and place in a burger press. Cook in a skillet over medium/high heat in about 2 tbsp of olive oil 4 -5 minutes per side. Serve on a toasted whole wheat English muffin topped with a slice of pepper jack cheese and a tomato slice.

I usually make a double batch placing patties on wax paper 4 per quart freezer bag. They store well up to 6 months.
