Sunday 8 June - Spicy Bean Burgers

These bean burgers are based on a Jack Monroe recipe, but with a few little twists.
I was delighted to be able to use the borlotti beans that we grew on the allotment last year and dried. They cooked loads quicker than supermarket beans too.







The beans were mashed with grated carrot, onion, garlic, chillies, chopped pepper, and some cumin and chilli powder which were fried together until soft.




The mix was chilled, then formed into burger shapes, and  dipped in egg and panko crumbs before frying



I made burger buns, topped with sesame to serve them in



and some potato wedges, tossed in semolina and cajun seasoning before oven roasting



The burgers were chilled and fried, then served in the buns with cheese, mustard, tomato slices and gherkins, with the wedges  on the side


We made enough to be able to freeze both the buns and the burgers for another meal later in the week.
