Pre-heat your oven to 350 F Heat a tbsp or two of water in a pan over medium heat - fry the onion, veggies and garlic until it softens up nice-like. About 5 minutes.

Transfer that lovely mixture to a food processor and pulse with the beans, liquid flavor, and spice until that shit is combined but still chunky.

Pulse in the dry base and texture ingredient. It’s gonna look gooey and a little gross - totally okay.

Scoop out in ⅓ cup amounts, plop onto a silicon baking sheet and flatten into patties. I recommend splashing a little bit of water on your hands before pressing them down - keeps it from sticking to you.

Bake for 20 minutes. Flip ‘em and bake for another 10-15.

Serve on a whole grain bun or lettuce leaf and top with whatever you fancy. Smash that beautiful thing into your mouth!
