Turn a tin of kidney beans into a gently spicy and budget-friendly veggie burger that you can whip up in 20 miutes.
Place the potato in a pan of boiling water and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, or until very tender but not breaking apart. Drain well and leave to air dry for a few minutes.
In a bowl, mash the rinsed beans using a potato masher. Add the potatoes and mashed those too. Mixing the remaining burgers ingredient, except the oil. Shape the mixture into four large patties.
Heat 2 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan [preferably non-stick]. Cook the burgers over a medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden, adding a little extra oil when the burgers are turned.
Toast the buns, in a dry flying pan or griddle, cut-side down and divide between four plates. Add lettuce and tomatoes, if using. Top with a hot burgers and serve with sauces of your choice.
If you have any leftover mashed potato feel free to use that instead of boiling and mashing another potato.
To make fresh bread crumbs without a food processor, freeze the bread until solid and then grate.
You can use the same frame pan to toast the buns as you use to cook the burgers as they don't take long.
