Ingredients

• 400g tin black beans, rinsed and drained well
• cooked brown rice 100g from a pouch
• 1 onion, finely chopped or grated
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 25g breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

Method

1. Tip all the ingredients into a blender and pulse until combined. Divide into 4 and shape into burger patties. Put onto an oiled baking sheet or plate and chill until you need them, at least 30 minutes.

2. Heat the barbecue or a griddle pan to high. Brush the burger patties with a little olive oil, then put onto the grill. Cook for 3 minutes then flip, and cook for 3 minutes more. Don’t keep moving the burgers or they will be more likely to break up, and you want a good crust on them.
