Instructions

  • Wrap the beetroot individually in foil and bake for 1 ½ hours until tender.
  • Allow to cool.
  • Meanwhile, gently fry the onion over a low heat for 10-15 minutes until soft and beginning to colour.
  • Add the garlic and spices and cook for a further minutes until fragrant, remove from the heat.
  • Add the aduki beans and roughly crush with a fork, add the sundried tomatoes, lemon and mint.
  • Remove the skin from the roasted beetroot and grate on the coarse side of a grater. Add to the crushed beans and mix through with the fork.
  • Mix well, then taste and check for seasoning, adding salt and pepper.
  • Stir in the ground oats.
  • Divide the burger mix into six portions. Rub a little oil on the palms of your hands and form each one into a patty, not more than 2cm thick.
  • Place onto a lightly oiled plate or tray, chill for an hour to firm up.
  • To cook the burgers, place on an oiled baking tray and brush the tops with a little oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes in a hot oven (200°C fan) until crispy on the outside turning them over halfway. You could also shallow fry in a frying pan.
