vegan bean burgers

40 minutes | easy | Serves 2

These vegan burgers are really simple to make and hold their shape very well on the BBQ. You can use any spices you like in the mixture, including warming spices such as cumin but also smoked paprika or garam masala. These burgers are easy to cook directly on the grill or the hot plate but take care not to turn them too many times as they will become a little softer as they cook.

Ingredients

  • 1 x 400g tin black beans
  • 2 spring onions, finely diced
  • 50g breadcrumbs
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons chilli powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • Oil, for cooking
  • 2 avocados
  • ¼ red onion, finely diced
  • Squeeze lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped coriander
  • 70ml rice vinegar
  • 170ml tap hot water
  • 25g caster sugar
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 red onion, very finely sliced
  • 2 burger buns
  • Vegan chipotle mayo
  • 4 lettuce leaves
