1
Fry the onions and pepper (in a little bit of oil) with the spices for a couple of minutes. Leave to cool.
2
Mash the beans in a large bowl.
3
Add the carrot, onion, pepper and oats to the mashed beans and mix until well combined.
4
Add the egg slowly (you probably won't need all of it). You don't want a mixture that's too sticky.

6
Fry the burgers (in a little bit of oil) for a few minutes on each side, until golden.
7
Serve hot.
