• In a medium bowl, mash black beans with a fork until thick and pasty.
• In a food processor, finely chop bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Then stir into mashed beans.
• In a small bowl, stir together egg, chili powder, cumin, and chili sauce.
• Stir the egg mixture into the mashed beans. Mix in bread crumbs until the mixture is sticky and holds together. Divide mixture into four patties.
• If grilling, place patties on foil, and grill about 8 minutes on each side. If baking, place patties on baking sheet, and bake about 10 minutes on each side.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the leek, mushrooms, thyme, tofu and kale for about 5 mins. Add the mustard, tamari and half of the black beans and give it a good stir. Transfer the mixture to a blender and pulse a few times - don't over-blend, it needs to be quite chunky in texture. Scoop into a bowl and add the rest of the black beans, the oat bran, rice and chopped nuts, then mix well.
• Divide the mixture into 4-6 evenly sized portions and shape into patties using your hands. Tip the gram flour onto a plate, if using, then roll the patties in the flour to coat.
• To make the burger dressing, mix all ingredients together in a bowl and set aside. Fry the patties for 4-5 mins on each side until crisp on the outside.
• Slide the patties into the buns with the tomato, onion, lettuce and a dollop of burger dressing.

Steps:

• Put the wholemeal bread and walnuts in a food processor and pulse to make fine crumbs.
• Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork and microwave for 5-10 mins until soft. Cut in half and scrape the cooked centres into the food processor with the bread and walnut crumbs. Make sure the beans are drained thoroughly then add them to the processor with the paprika, cumin, onion granules, and tomato puree. Season generously and pulse until the mixture is mostly smooth and holding together. Divide the mix into 4 patties and chill for 20 mins to firm up.
• Meanwhile make the side salad by mixing the cucumber, carrot, coriander, lime juice and rapeseed oil together. Season and put to one side.
• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the patties and fry for 4-5 mins on each side until golden and hot through. Place a small handful of rocket into each burger bun. Top with the tomato slices, burgers, and then avocado. Add a dollop of coconut yogurt or burger sauce of your choice. Serve with the carrot and cucumber salad alongside.
