Black Bean &
Mushroom Burger

Serves: 4     Time: 50 min     Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 250g mushrooms, finely chopped
• olive oil 1 tablespoon
• 300g black beans
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• Gherkin, finely chopped
• Tomato ketchup
• Mayo
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp chilli flakes
• Salt & pepper, to taste

Method

1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan. Sauté mushrooms with salt for 8-10 min until the liquid evaporates. Cool slightly.
2. Add the mushrooms and the cooked black beans to an oven tray and roast at 170°C for 20 min, just to dehydrate them both slightly.
3. In a large bowl, mash black beans and mushrooms together, leaving some chunks for texture. Season to taste, then shape into 4-6 patties. Chill for at least 30 mins to firm up.
4. For the burger sauce, in a bowl, mix chopped onion and gherkin. Add ketchup and mayo. Stir in ground cumin, ground coriander, chilli flakes, smoked cayenne and grated garlic. Season to taste.
5. Pan-fry burger patties in a little olive oil 4-5 min per side until crisp and browned, or bake at 200°C for 20-25 min, flipping once.
6. Serve in buns topped with burger sauce, lettuce, tomato and gherkins.
