Onion Bean Burgers with homemade BBQ Sauce (Vegan & Gluten Free)

1. Pre-heat your oven to 180⁰ degrees, gas mark 4 and line a baking tray with grease proof paper.

2. Heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a frying pan.

3. Peel and finely chop the onion and add into the pan. Use a wooden spoon to prevent the onion sticking.

4. Once the onions have softened & are golden in colour, add in the tomatoes for 2 minutes then turn off the heat and allow the veggies to cool slightly.

5. Using a food processor, mash/whizz up the beans and place into a large mixing bowl. Add in the cooked onion, tomato, oats, tomato puree, ground seeds, oregano and stock. Mix with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes together.

6. With clean hands, form the mixture into burgers and lightly pat some buckwheat flour onto them, as this helps the cooking process.

7. Once you have a tray full of delicious burgers, place the tray into the middle of the oven. Cook for 10 minutes, then, take the tray out of the oven and flip the burgers over and place back into the oven for a further 10 minutes.

8. After 20 minutes, remove the tray from the oven and serve immediately along with the delicious homemade BBQ Sauce!

9. To make sauce: Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor for a few minutes until super smooth. Taste and add more spice if you feel it needs more seasoning.
