1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 medium onion, peeled and grated
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
Finely grated zest of one lemon
400g can/ carton kidney beans, drained
400g can chick peas, drained
1 tbsp peanut butter
50g breadcrumbs
Salt & black pepper
For the guacamole:
1 avocado, mashed
A few sprigs of coriander, finely chopped
½ lime, juice
100g Alpro Plain plant-based alternative to Greek-style yogurt
Good pinch of black pepper & salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 210 degree C/ Fan 190 degree C/ Gas mark 6. Heat the oil in a nonstick frying pan and gently fry the onion and garlic for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the cumin, coriander, lemon zest and cook for 1 minute. Set aside and allow to cool for 5 minutes.

Step 2

In a blender or processor put the kidney beans, chick peas, peanut butter, breadcrumbs, the spicy onion mixture and season with salt and pepper. Blitz until well combined but not smooth.

Step 3

Squidge it all together well, then divide into four and mould into ‘patty’ shapes. Place on a baking tray lightly brushed with oil, then put in oven for 20 minutes. Turn the burgers over half way through cooking so that they become golden and crunchy on both sides

Step 4

Now for the guacamole: Mix together the avocado, Alpro Plain Soya alternative to Greek Style yogurt, fresh coriander and lime juice, and blend until smooth. Season with black pepper & salt.

To serve ; In a burger bun stack up your veggie burger with layers of lettuce, tomato, onion and the zesty lime and avocado dressing. 100% plant-based, 100% satisfying!
