Preparation:

1. First, cook the brown rice.

2. Heat a skillet, and sauté the onions, the garlic and the mushrooms for about 10 minutes, until it gets a nice golden colour. Add the vegetable broth and mix well until it is dissolved.

3. On a food processor/blender blend the beans, the sautéed mushrooms, and add the spices (cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, BBQ sauce and oregano). Once it’s nicely mixed, pour it into a bowl and add the brown rice and the oat flour. Mix it well.

4. Divide into 4 patties, and then wrap it with the bread crumbs.

5. Grill it with a little bit of olive oil or bake it in the oven for about 4-5 minutes on each side.

6. On the side, prepare the caramelised purple onion and the golden mushrooms. On a skillet, with a little bit of olive oil sauté them (separately) for about 7-10 minutes. Add a little bit of salt.

7. Now is time to make your burger. On one of the half of the bun put the spinach leafs, then the burger, the cheddar cheese, the caramelised onions, the mushrooms, the ketchup and put the other half on top. You can add some sweet potatoes fries as well.
