BEAN BURGERS
Ingredients:
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• ½ small red onion, peeled and finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
• ½ small red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
• 400g can mixed beans, rinsed and drained
• Pinch of ground cumin
• Pinch of chilli powder
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tbsp fresh coriander or parsley, finely chopped
• 1 large egg
• 100g dried breadcrumbs
• Salt and pepper
• 2 burger buns, sauces, and salad to serve
Methods:
1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a small frying pan. Add the onion, garlic and chilli and cook for a couple of minutes until softened and fragrant.
2. Place the onion, garlic, chilli, beans, spices, herbs and salt and pepper together into a bowl and mash the ingredients together well using a potato masher.
3. Form the mixture into two large burgers. Place on a plate, cover with cling film and chill for at least an hour to firm up.
4. Preheat the oven to 200-C Fan/Gas Mark 7.
5. Break the egg into a shallow bowl and beat with a fork. Scatter the breadcrumbs on a plate. Heat the remaining oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat.
6. Remove the burgers from the fridge and cover them all over in the egg, then the breadcrumbs, and place them in a pan.
7. Cook over a medium heat for around 10 minutes on each side to brown. Transfer the burgers to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until hot throughout.
8. Serve in burger buns with your choice of sauces and salad.
