Instructions
Burger Sauce
- Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk until well combined. Set aside.
Burgers
- In a large bowl, combine the red beans, breadcrumbs, sweet corn, onion, garlic, salsa, salt and pepper. Mash with a potato masher, until no large chunks remain and let it sit for a few minutes.* In the meantime, prepare your vegetables.
- Wash the lettuce and tomatoes. Peel and chop the red onion into thin slices. Cut the pickles and tomatoes into thin slices.
- Shape the bean mixture into palm size patties. You should have 8 patties in total.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet and add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Fry the patties on medium-high heat, at least 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Put a piece of cheddar on top of each patty and cover with a lid to let it melt.
- Toast the burger buns in the oven, using the fan at 180C or 350F until golden and slightly crispy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Assemble the burgers by adding your patties, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles and burger sauce to the buns.
- Serve immediatly (with potato wedges if using).
Notes
*The mixture will be quite firm, that’s okay! This way it holds its shape while cooking, don’t be tempted to add more liquids.
