Instructions
1 Put the mince in a large bowl. Drain the can of beans. Grate the carrot and courgette and add to the meat.
2 In a food processor or blender, mince the onion. Add the beans and process until you have a smooth purée (or chop the onion finely and mash the beans by hand).
3 Add this mixture to the meat and using clean hands, mix it all together until well blended. Form the mixture into burger patties – this should make at least 6, or more if you like them smaller.
4 Cook the burgers either on the barbecue or under a hot grill in the oven until well-cooked (test with a skewer – juices should run clear).
5 Spread buns with hummus and salsa, and construct your burgers with the cooked meat patties, lettuce and tomato.
HFG tip
- By including beans and vegetables in the meat patties and using wholemeal rolls, we’ve increased the fibre from 3.7g to 7.8 g per burger.
- This patty mixture also works well for meatballs.
