Thread: Any Spicy bean burger recipes?

I love love love spicy bean burgers from asda but obviously they are synned. Does anyone have a spicy bean burger recipe that they can share? It needs to be green plan.
Thanks

Fry Light
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 small red chilli, finely chopped
100 g chopped frozen spinach, thawed
400 g can cannellini beans
50 g wholemeal breadcrumbs - This is a Syn Free Recipe if you use this as your Healthy Extra B, if not, it's approx 6 syns I think.
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp coriander, chopped
salt and black pepper


Method
1. Heat the fry light in a small saucepan and cook the onion, garlic and chilli for 5 minutes until softened. Squeeze the excess moisture out of the spinach and place in a large bowl.


2. Mash the beans well and mix with the spinach, breadcrumbs, cumin and coriander. Add the fried onion mixture and stir well together.


3. Season to taste and shape into four round burgers. Grill or shallow fry for a few minutes on each side until crisp and golden.

These sound gorgeous - I am going to try! But I have another syn free suggestion as a substitute for the breadcrumbs which I have used on potato croquets before - couscous! I think I will experiment tonight and leave out the breadcrumbs and roll the burgers in couscous instead for a breadcrumb type coating.....

Doesn't the couscous turn into a syn if not cooked the way it is meant? I've no idea, I don't understand it, as far as I know, it goes down the same hole. Lol

Let us know what its like x
