Black Bean Burgers with Potato Salad Recipe

Serves

Ingredients

For the burgers:

1 large onion, peeled and finely diced
3 tbsp sunflower oil, divided in half
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1 medium carrot, grated
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp peanut butter
240g black beans, drained, rinsed and mashed with a fork
50g oats

For the potato salad:

300g new potatoes (or any will be fine)
½ small red onion, peeled and finely diced
1 tbsp capers
3 tbsp vegan mayonnaise

Method

1. To make the burgers, fry the onion gently in half the oil for 8–10 minutes until softened. Then add the garlic, spices and grated carrot to the pan. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring.

2. Add the peanut butter, and stir until it is combined.

3. Remove from the heat and mix in the mashed beans and the oats to form a thick paste.

4. Divide the mixture into four, and shape four burgers with your hands.

5. Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan, and fry the burgers for about 3–4 minutes on each side.

6. To make the potato salad, cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces and boil them in water until just soft. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.

7. Mix with the red onion, capers and vegan mayonnaise.
