Time P1DT30m

Yield 12 patties, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup dried butter beans (or other beans, or lentils, or a mixture. Broth mix also works)
2 onions
2 garlic cloves
1 1/2 cups mixed vegetables (grated carrot, peas, peanuts, canned chickpeas, etc)
1 cup flour
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon concentrated chicken bouillon or 2 chicken stock cubes

Steps:

Add butter beans to a pan, and cover with boiling water, with an inch of water to spare. Leave to soak 24 hours. (If in a rush, buy canned beans and use 2-3x quantity).
Add onions and garlic to a food blender and pulse until finely chopped. Add beans and pulse again for 10-20 seconds. Add other vegetables, nuts, etc and pulse until thoroughly mixed.
Add salt and chicken stock and stir thoroughly.
Fold in flour until mixture becomes a thick, sticky dough.
To cook, form into 12-15 patties, of heaped tablespoon size. Alternately, roll into 2 large loaves. For the smaller patties, fry or grill these in a griddle until golden brown and firm. For larger loaves, bake or roast until cooked through. For "sausages", roll into sausage shapes and shallow fry, turning regularly.
When using "meat" for food, the patties/loaves can be sliced into slivers for stir fries, chopped, sliced for sandwiches, thick-cut and fried as steaks, or slapped between buns to make "burgers".
