COOKING TIME:60 MINUTES

Ingredients

For the burger patty

230 g black beans, drained and rinsed
0.5 cup sunflower seeds
0.5 cup oats
1 tbsp tomato paste
1.5 tbsp soy sauce
3 garlic cloves
chia eggs (3 tbsp chia seeds + 5 tbsp water)
0.5 yellow onion, roughly chopped
0.5 tbsp paprika
0.5 tbsp sambal oelek
1 tbsp cumin
3 tbsp parsley, fresh
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

For The Avocado Cream

2 avocados
0.75 cup plant-based greek yogurt
3 tbsp lime juice
3 tbsp parsley, fresh
salt, to taste

For The Corn Salsa

0.5 red onion, finely chopped
0.5 tbsp lime juice
2 jalapeno, finely chopped
70 g sweet corn, drained

Other

4 lecture leaves
4 hamburger buns
2 tbsp neutral oil (for frying)

Instructions

Prepare the chia eggs by mixing chia seeds and water. Set aside for later.
Cut and scoop out the flesh from the avocados and put in a mixer. Add in the plant based greek yogurt, lime juice, parsley and salt and mix to a smooth cream. Place in a jar and put in the fridge until it’s time to serve.
For the corn salsa. Finely chop the red onion and the jalapeño. Add to a bowl and blend with lime juice and corn. Set a side.
For the burger patty. Put all ingredients (black beans, sunflower seeds, oats, tomato paste, soy sauce, garlic cloves, chia eggs, yellow onion, paprika powder, chili paste, cumin, parsley, salt and pepper) in a food processor and mix until almost lean. It’s tasty to leave a few chunks of black bean. Using your hands, form the batter into four evenly sized patties.
Heat a pan to medium heat and drizzle some oil in it. Add the patties to the pan and fry until they turn quite dark brown (but not burned), around 5 min on each side.
Build your burgers, by combining the patties, avocado cream, corn salsa and lettuce to the burger buns. (I build them like this: bun, avocado cream, lettuce, burger, avocado cream, corn salsa, avocado cream, bun). Enjoy!
