1 can cooked black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup roasted pumpkin seeds
100 g halloumi cheese
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh thyme
1 garlic clove
3 tablespoons potato starch
1 teaspoons chili flakes
salt and pepper
canola oil
Roughly pulse the beans and pumpkin seeds in a food processor (there should be some small bits left). Grate in the garlic and cheese and combine everything with the potato starch, thyme, chili flakes and 2 tablespoons of oil. Season with salt and pepper. Shape the batter into patties and fry in a pan with oil, about 4 minutes on each side.
Good as burgers in bread with dressing, with roasted root vegetables and a dash of chipotle mayonnaise. Or do what we did last time: cook oats (quinoa or millet works too) and mix with a lemon vinaigrette. Make a carrot hummus (or buy a ready-made one!). Serve the patties with the lemon-dressed oats, a dash of carrot hummus and oven-baked pumpkin or cabbage.
