Meanwhile, puree 2 cups of the adzuki beans, tahini, and water in a food processor. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and stir in the vegetable mixture, and remaining cup of whole adzuki beans. Sprinkle sesame seeds on a large plate, if using. With wet hands, scoop out one heaped tablespoon of the mixture and form into a ball. Use more mixture for larger burgers. Flatten slightly and press into sesame seeds if using, then transfer to the baking tray. Bake the burgers for 20 minutes turning once halfway through or until a slight crust has formed.

Serve with baked pumpkin slices on top, drizzle with a reduced sauce and enjoy a hefty serving of my delicious caramelised onion butter on the side.
