Spicy black bean burger
Background
This Mexican-style spicy black bean burger is really rather spicy, so if you don’t like the heat leave out the chilli powder or jalapeño. Vegans can substitute the egg with one portion of flax-egg, the breadcrumbs can be gluten-free, if needed. Serve the patties wrapped in tortilla or tucked in flatbread with salsa, salad and condiments of your choice.

- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- ½ teaspoon chilli powder
- ½teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions
- Finely chop the spring onions. Deseed and chop the chilli. Peel and chop the garlic
- Fry the chopped vegetables in hot oil until softened, then put them into a small food processor and cool for a couple of minutes. Add the coriander and blend into a rough paste.
- Add the drained beans, and whiz for a few seconds -don’t blend it into a mash, the mixture should remain textured.
- Transfer the mixture into a mixing bowl, add the other ingredients and combine with a wooden spoon or your hands. Shape 4 balls, then press them between your palms.
