Today I want to show you a way to enrich burgers with legumes that I find very interesting to incorporate this ingredient in a different way into our diet. The beneficial properties of legumes are well known and apart from in stews or salads there are other equally delicious ways to eat them.
I am very fond of preparing my own burgers at home. And I like to control what my family eats. If you walk through the supermarket and pick up a tray of beef burgers, you will be surprised by the list of ingredients it contains. To give you an example of the ingredients of some beef burgers that I saw today on the supermarket shelves: beef, water, vegetables, dietary fiber, dextrin, salt, spices, starches, vegetable extract, dextrose, antioxidants, sodium citrate , sodium ascorbate, preservative, coloring... I think that after seeing this list it is worth investing a little time in making homemade hamburgers, right?

Ingredients
- 300g freshly minced beef
- 200g cooked white beans
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 ripe tomato
- 4 slices of cheese
- 2 red onions
- 100ml of Modena vinegar
- Salt
- Pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- Olive oil
Elaboration
- Peel the onions. Cut them into thin slices and put them in a bowl with a good pinch of salt and the Modena vinegar . Give it a few stirs and let it rest while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
- Put the minced meat, the cooked and drained white beans, the egg yolk, a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper in a bowl. Mix well, helping yourself with a fork while you mash the beans. You don't need to mash them completely, if there are some whole beans left, nothing happens.
- Shape the burgers with the help of a burger press . With these quantities, you will get 4 beautiful burgers.
- Grill the burgers on an iron grill with a splash of olive oil .
- While the burgers are making, toast the bread. The KitchenAid toaster has a function to toast only the inside of the rolls, so it is perfect for these preparations.
- Assemble the burgers by placing a slice of tomato on the base, the burger on top, a slice of cheese and finally the drained onion.

Serve the burgers with a salad. In my case, I have prepared it with arugula and parmesan.

Hola Maria José, para hacer hamburguesas lo ideal es encontrar una carne que no sea totalmente magra, que contenga un poco de grasa pero tampoco en exceso. Por eso, deberías evitar lomos y solomillos (les faltará grasa).
Algunas partes que pueden resultarte interesantes de usar son la aguja, llana o espaldilla. A por unas ricas hamburguesas, ya nos contarás!
