Ingredients

15g butter
125g chestnut mushrooms, finely chopped

salt and pepper
gluten free plain flour (or gram flour) for coating
4 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
1. Melt the butter in a frying pan, add the mushrooms and leek and cook for 2-3 minutes until farily soft. Add the chilli, sugar and garlic, and stir fry for 2-3 minutes Add the beans an cook, stirring for 1 minute.
2. Remove from the heat, season well and mash with a potato masher until the beans are broken with no large lumps. Shape in to 6 burgers.
3. Sprinkle some flour on to a plate and season with salt and pepper. Coat each side of teh burgers in flour
4. Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the burgers and cook each side 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through 

Notes: I would try this with kidney beans next time. We used 1 can each of butter and cannellini beans. Would also consider using some Indian spices to make them a bit more flavorsome.
