Quick bean patties

The patties are prepared in 25 minutes, you need no cooking knowledge, the burgers taste just like meat burgers but they are so much healthier! Here is the recipe.

The dish contains many plantbased proteins of the beans, some carbohydrates of the ingredients of the patties, lots of healthy vegetables and healthy, unsaturated fats of the seeds.

The patties are made of cooked beans, many herbs, sunflower seeds, some tabasco for a light heat and some flour. The consistency is soft on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. Add whole nuts or seeds to give the vegan patties a crunchy consistency. They are so similar to meat burgers, you won’t even taste the difference! And they are so much healthier!
