Ingredients
- 400g can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 500g beef steak mince
- 1½tbsp tomato purée
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 large free-range egg yolk
- 10 gherkins, very finely chopped
- Large handful coriander leaves, finely chopped
- 1-2tsp dried crushed chipotle chilli, or chipotle paste
- ¼tsp sweet smoked paprika
- 1tbsp sunflower oil
Instructions
- Mash up the kidney beans with a fork. Put the mince, kidney beans, tomato purée, garlic, egg yolk, gherkins, coriander, chilli and paprika in a large bowl and use your hands to mix well. Divide into 6 equal portions then shape into burgers. Cover and set aside in the fridge to firm up for at least 2 hours or overnight. You need them to firm up well or they may fall apart on the grill.
- Prepare the braai for direct heat. Brush the burgers lightly with the oil and cook for around 4 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Serve on a bun, if you like, with guacamole and tortilla chips.
