Chorizo bean burgers

 

Ingredients

• 100g mini cooking chorizo, skins removed
• 3 pork sausages, squeezed from their skins
• ¼ tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tbsp lime juice, plus wedges to serve
• small bunch coriander, chopped
• ½ x 400g can mixed beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 medium egg, lightly whisked
• 1½ tbsp olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
• 2 ciabatta rolls, split and toasted
• soured cream, avocado, small handful rocket and chips, to serve (optional)

Method

1. In a food processor, pulse the chorizo, sausagemeat, paprika, lime juice and coriander until well combined. Add the beans and some seasoning, and quickly pulse again to mix. Tip into a bowl and mix in just enough egg (about half) to bind. Shape into 2 fat burgers, cover and chill for 15 mins. Meanwhile, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
2. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the burgers for 3 mins on each side. Transfer to a baking sheet and cook in the oven for a further 10 mins until cooked through.
3. Serve the burgers in rolls with soured cream, avocado and rocket, with chips and lime wedges on the side, if you like.
