Heat the beans in a small bowl in the microwave for 1 minute (to soften the beans). Mash them with a potato masher. Add the oats, cornflake crumbs and tomato paste; mix well. Then stir in the onions, mushrooms, and all the seasonings except for the dried or fresh parsley. Add this mixture to a food processor, 2-3 cups at a time to make it easier for processing.

Put the burger mix back into a bowl and stir in the parsley until it is well mixed. Using a large spoon, break off a clump; roll it in a smooth ball and flatten it into a burger shape with your hand. Place the burgers onto a non-stick griddle or frying pan. Brown on both sides over a medium-high heat. Depending on your griddle, this may take only 2-3 minutes for each side. Serve immediately with our New Start ketchup, Mediterranean Pesto or our low-fat mayo. These are great as an entrée or in a bun with all the fixings.

CHEF'S NOTE: A yummy variation is to add 1 cup of shredded baby spinach leaves. This recipe makes a dozen 3 inch burgers. They are great with a hummus, a low-fat mayo or Mediterranean pesto. You can find recipes for all of these toppings on our website.
