Method
- Put the spinach in a colander and pour over a kettleful of boiling water to wilt.
- Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the leeks for 5 minutes until softened. Meanwhile, mash the cannellini beans with a fork. Squeeze the spinach to get rid of the excess moisture, then roughly chop and add to the beans with the breadcrumbs, semi-dried tomatoes, Cheddar, egg and cooked leeks. Taste and season.
- Shape the mixture into 8 even-size cakes and chill for 15 minutes to firm them up while you make the slaw.
- For the slaw, toss the cabbage, carrots, apples, red onion, lime zest and juice. Mix the mayo with 2 tbsp water, then use to coat the slaw. Season to taste.
- Heat a splash of vegetable oil in a large frying pan and shallow-fry the burgers for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown (or cook the burgers under a preheated grill).
- Meanwhile, cook the corn cobs in a pan of lightly salted boiling water for 5 minutes or until tender, then drain. Serve the burgers with the corn cobs and the slaw.
