Method

Step 1

Heat half the oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the spring onions for 1–2 minutes, until softened.

Step 2

Place the black-eyed beans in a large bowl and roughly mash. Stir in the remaining ingredients and combine well.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 6 and form each into patties or burgers.

Step 4

Place on a baking sheet, brush each side with the remaining oil and chill for at least 30 minutes, or until required. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side on a medium barbecue or grill until cooked through.

Step 5

Serve in a wholemeal roll and fill with green salad, tomatoes and red onion.

Recipe tips

The nutritional analysis above includes a wholemeal bun as a serving suggestion.
You could use other beans such as kidney beans, cannelini or mixed beans.
Add crushed garlic and chilli flakes for extra flavour.
Cut the carbs, by enjoying this veggie burger without the bun.
Freezing instructions: Freeze in individually wrapped portions with grease proof paper between each burger. Defrost thoroughly and reheat until piping hot throughout.
