🌸 Fancy a burger with all the trimmings while wanting to keep it light and healthy?
🌸 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.

🌸GOLDEN TURMERIC LATTE my favourite at the moment! Can’t get away from it.
🌸Why?
it can replace caffeine lattes that can increase blood pressure in some peopleAnd by adding turmeric powder or fresh turmeric root to multiple things you eat throughout the day, such as sautéed veggies, curry dishes, smoothies, and “golden milk,” could be a great way to take advantage of curcumin’s (compound of turmeric) anti-inflammatory health benefits. to increase curcumins absorption try one of the following-PUKKAs golden latte in the picture is perfect but if you fancy making your own you can add in ginger, cinnamon, honey and warm nut milk.🌸it’s hot hot hot!
