Ingredients You Need for Kidney Bean and Tofu Burger [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
How to Prepare Kidney Bean and Tofu Burger [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
- In a pan on medium heat, add half of the olive oil, the red onion and garlic and fry for a minute while stirring until onions are soft.
- Add the rinsed kidney beans, the chopped tofu, the cumin powder and the salt and fry for another two to three minutes, frequently stirring.
- Move the bean mix over to a bowl and add the soaked oats. Using a hand blender, mix it into a firm dough. Add a little water and olive oil to get the right consistency for shaping the mixture into patties (easiest done by using your hands).
- Bring the pan back to the stove on medium heat, add the rest of the olive oil, and fry the burgers for a couple of minutes on each side. Serve with burger bread and your favorite burger condiments.

I halved the recipe and still wound up with with enough to feed four. Although it was tasty, my patties fell apart and turned into a real mess. Maybe more binder is required (more oats, some chia, flax, or something else perhaps) or is an ingredient missing? Again, it was tasty, but a very disappointing “burger” experience.
Is there any particular type of oats I should use for this, or will steel cut oats suffice?
The recipe does not say what to soak the oats in! I just covered them with water. I did not have a 5 oz. pavckage of tofu, only a 14 oz. one, so I cut the piece of tofu in half and used about 1 1/2 cups of black beans that I had cooked from scratch instead of canned kidney beans. The recipe should be amended to say to use a DEEP bowl for blending. I didn\’t and wound up with bits of the mix all over the kitchen counter! I found that the ingredients did not stay formed in patties when cooking, although I love the taste.
