Method

  • step 1

    Heat grill to high. Tip the beans into a large bowl, then roughly crush with a potato masher. Add the breadcrumbs, chilli powder, coriander stalks and ½ the leaves, egg and 2 tbsp salsa, season to taste, then mix together well with a fork.

  • step 2

    Divide the mixture into 6, then wet your hands and shape into burgers. The burgers can now be frozen. Place on a non-stick baking tray, then grill for 4-5 mins on each side until golden and crisp. To cook from frozen, bake at 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 for 20-30 mins until hot through.

  • step 3

    While the burgers are cooking, mix the remaining coriander leaves with the yogurt, lime juice and a good grind of black pepper. Split the buns in half and spread the bases with some of the yogurt. Top each with leaves, avocado, onion, a burger, another dollop of the lime yogurt and some salsa, then serve.

tip

For anyone who finds them dry. Pan frying in a small amount of oil is the way to go. Grilling or oven baking dries them out too much.

Followed the recipe and they were dry and crumbly. Perhaps I should have added other ingredients like others to add moisture

Just had these for dinner. Very moist, lots of flavour from the beans. Also added some sweet corn to the mix. Held together well. Dry fried them on the hob for 5 minutes per side. Hubby loved them - being vegetarian he’s eaten many veggie burgers & he's rated them as the best!

question

Can these be frozen before cooking?

Never mind - hadn’t read the recipe properly!
