Cooking Time : 30 Minute

Ingredients

• freekeh 150g
• carrots 2, peeled and grated
• red onion ½, diced
• smoked paprika ½ tsp
• egg 1, beaten
• pinto beans 400g tin, rinsed and drained
• plain flour 1 tbsp (optional)
• burger buns, salad and hummus to serve (optional)

Method

• STEP 1

  Cook the freekeh in boiling water for 20 minutes until soft. Drain and rinse. Toss with the grated carrot, onion, paprika, egg and season.

• STEP 2

  In a small blender, whizz the beans to a paste and add these to the mix. Add in 1 tbsp flour if needed to combine, and shape into 8 burgers. You can freeze any extra burgers for another time.

• STEP 3

  Fry the burgers in 1 tbsp oil for 4 minutes on each side until golden and crunchy. If you like, add into burger buns with some lettuce, tomato and a dollop of hummus. You could also make the burgers half the size when shaping, fry, then load into Little Gem lettuce leaves with hummus and finely diced tomato and onion.
