🌸 Fancy a burger with all the trimmings while wanting to keep it light and healthy?
🌸 Easy Peasy
Replace the meat burger with a bean burger
Replace the bun with a piece of iceberg lettuce
Keep the onion, tomatoes and relish or any dressing.
🌸I won’t lie, it can get a bit messy to eat but totally worth it.
🌸To save time, batch cook and have for lunch over 2 days. They will keep in the fridge for 3 days.
🌸 The relish I used in the picture is made of wild garlic and fresh parsley blended with a little mayo, yogurt and lemon juice – thanks to hubby’s bright idea.
🌸 Ingredients include –
🍋 1 tin of black beans
🍋 handful of fresh coriander
🍋1 tsp of cumin
🍋1/4 cup of bread crumbs or flour – I use gluten free for both
🍋1/4 cup of cooked sweet potato (not soggy but firm)
🍋1 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce
🍋 1/2 tsp of chilli powder – optional.
METHOD:
Pat dry black beans or allow to dry in low heated oven to remove moisture.
Now place the beans and all remaining ingredients in a blender until coarse texture. If a bit wet add a little more flour or bread crumbs.
Shape into 4 burger shapes and cook on an olive oiled griddle pan for approximately 10 minutes on each side. Alternatively place in the oven (160C) for 20 minutes- turning half way.
