MEXICAN BLACK BEAN BURGERS WITH LIME & CORIANDER

Steps:

• Drain the beans, peel and coarsely grate the onion and deseed and finely chop the chilli. Pick the coriander leaves. Finely grate the lime zest.
• Blitz the oats and nuts in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Add 1½ tins of beans, the onion, chilli, ground coriander and cumin, coriander leaves, lime zest and a good drizzle of oil; blitz to combine.
• Add remaining beans and pulse just once or twice, so they stay a little chunky. Transfer to a bowl.
• Divide into 6 balls then flatten into burgers on a clean surface dusted with flour and smoked paprika. Place on a tray and chill for at least an hour.
• If using bread rolls, split in half. Place the bread, cut-side down, on the grill and cook until lightly charred. Set aside.
• Cook the burgers for 4 to 5 minutes each side, or until lightly charred and cooked through.
