Chilli beef and bean burger recipe

Ingredients

Burgers

• 1 small onion, quartered
• small can (about 210g) red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 250g lean beef mince
• wholemeal breadcrumbs (from 1 slice of bread)
• 2 teaspoons mild chilli powder, or to taste
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon tomato purée

To Serve

• 1 extra large tomato, sliced
• 1 red onion, sliced
• lettuce leaves
• 4 wholemeal rolls

Method

1. Chop the onion in a food processor, then add the beans, mince, breadcrumbs, chilli powder, beaten egg and tomato purée, and mix again.

If you prefer a chunkier texture, mash the beans with a fork or potato masher, chop the onions by hand and then mix with the other ingredients.

2. Shape the mixture into 4 patties and chill until you’re ready to cook.

3. Barbecue or grill for 5 to 7 minutes each side.

4. Serve in the rolls, with sliced onion and tomato, and lettuce leaves.

Serve with corn on the cob for a complete meal.
