Method

  1. Whizz together the beans, beef, spring onions, lemon zest, paprika and 1 tbsp mayonnaise in a food processor. Season, divide the mixture into 4 equal portions, then use your hands to form into burgers.
  2. Heat a griddle pan until hot, toast the buns, then set aside. Brush each burger with oil, then griddle for 4-5 minutes on each side.
  3. Mix the remaining mayo, mustard and 50g gherkins in a bowl and season with black pepper. Serve the burgers in the buns with the mayo, salad leaves and extra gherkins.

Make Ahead

Make it veggie/vegan: if you want a 100 per cent bean burger (that’s also vegan) swap the beef for an extra can of kidney beans, a mashed sweet potato and a handful of fresh breadcrumbs. Replace the regular mayo with a vegan variety.
