For a long time I've been wanting to make some vegetarian aduki bean burgers because the illustration in the cookery book makes them look so nice. They do take quite a time to make so this morning I decided to try them as I had assembled all the ingredients required.
I cooked the rice and while it was draining and cooling I cooked the vegetables and the smell that filled the kitchen was wonderful. After the veggies were cooked, I added all the other ingredients and then put the mixture in the fridge because it has to chill thoroughly.
I left the mixture in the fridge for a couple of hours and then started to make the burgers. As I wasn't going to eat them today I needed to cook them and then once cold, freeze them. The mixture was quite wet and didn't hold together too well even though I had followed the recipe to the letter.
Eventually they were all cooked, cooled and frozen. I did try one when it was cooked and it was delicious but when I make them again I will probably adjust the quantities of some ingredients, add some breadcrumbs and also do a triple dip (flour, egg then polenta) before cooking so that they hold together better.
When I get it right I'll let you know!
