Butterbean and Cheddar Burgers with Oats

The oats in these burgers give more than just bulk, they also add some welcome texture to the burger.

For 8 burgers you need:
1 can butterbeans, drained
1 onion, roughly chopped
1/2 cup oats (WARNING!!! you may not need this much, it depends on how sloppy the mix is so add bit by bit by bit till the right texture is reached! Or you may need some more...)
1 egg
salt and pepper
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/2 cup grated mature cheddar
2 cloves garlic

Place the butterbeans, onion, egg and garlic in a food processor and blitz till smooth. Tip into a mixing bowl, season and add the cheese and parsley. Mix well. Add enough oats to bring the mixture together into a fairly stiff dough. Form into 8 patties and place on a lined baking sheet. Bake in a hot oven for about 20 mins, turning halfway through, till golden brown and cripsy on the outside. Serve in a burger bun with all the trimmings :)
