This is a great vegetarian burger recipe and freezable too so you can make a batch and enjoy them at any time.
Ingredients
- 3 ciabatta rolls
- 400g tin black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 tsp each chilli powder and sweet smoked paprika
- Small bunch of fresh coriander, chopped
- 1 medium free-range egg, beaten
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 Yamas! Halloumi Burger Slices (from Tesco), or similar
- 211g Tesco Hot Tomato Salsa Dip, or similar
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
Method
- In a food processor, pulse one of the rolls into fine breadcrumbs and set aside.
- Put the beans in a bowl and mash with a potato masher until roughly crushed. Add the breadcrumbs, spices, fresh coriander, a pinch of seasoning and enough beaten egg to bind. Shape into 2 thick burgers, then chill for 15 minutes until firm.
- Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and fry the burgers for 5-6 minutes, turning once, until crisp and piping hot throughout. Remove and set aside.
- Sear the halloumi slices on each side for 30 seconds in the same pan. Halve and lightly toast the remaining ciabatta rolls, then spread a little of the salsa on the bottom halves. Top each with a bean burger, a slice of hot halloumi, a few slices of avocado and a dollop more of the salsa, then sandwich together with the top halves of the ciabatta rolls.
