For two people
Cooking time: 50 minutes

Bean burger ingredients:
1 can kidney or black beans (250 g)
1 egg
50 ml breadcrumbs
1/2 onion
2 tbsp soy
1 tbsp paprika powder
A pinch of chilli flakes
Salt and pepper to taste

Extras:
2 burger buns of any variety, I prefer brioche bread
You can choose the contents of the burger according to your preferences, I prefer:
Green salad
Red onion
Mashed avocado
Fried egg
Cheddar or other cheese
Mayonnaise
Ketchup
500g potatoes (regular or sweet potatoes)

Instructions:
1. Mix the batter for the bean burger in a blender or with an immersion blender. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes to make it easier to shape the patties.
2. Once 15 minutes have passed, take out the batter and form patties to your preferred size.
3. Set your oven to 225 degrees. Make potato wedges, season them with oil, salt and pepper and put them in the oven for about 30 minutes or until the potatoes are done.
4. Fry them in oil for about 5 minutes on each side at a medium-high temperature.
5. Place your bean burger on the burger bun and then assemble it with your preferred toppings.
6. Serve with the potatoes/sweet potatoes.

Healthy ingredients for pregnant people:
Kidney beans are a superfood for pregnant women, especially if you are a vegetarian as they are the best alternative to meat with their high levels of iron – which pregnant women often get too little of! Kidney beans also have a lot of magnesium which can help with cramps, are full of antioxidants and are anti-inflammatory.
