Qmee recipes: quick & easy! Chorizo bean burgers

Combine delicious Spanish sausage with the traditional pork variety for pulse-packed, spicy bean burgers that are quick to make at any time of the day. These burgers are perfect for an easy lunch to enjoy a break from work, or for a family meal at the weekend that everyone will love. Serve them with soured cream, avocado and chips to make them even more perfect!

Take a look at the ingredients you’ll need and the method you’ll need to follow.

Here’s what you’ll need…

100g (2/3 cup) mini cooking chorizo, skins removed
3 pork sausages, squeezed from their skins
Quarter tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp lime juice, plus wedges to serve
Small bunch coriander, chopped
200g (2 cups) mixed beans (from a can is fine), drained and rinsed
1 medium egg, lightly whisked
1 and a half tbsp olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
2 ciabatta rolls, split and toasted
Soured cream, avocado, small handful rocket and chips, to serve (optional)

Here’s what you’ll need to do…

1.In a food processor, pulse the chorizo, sausage meat, paprika, lime juice and coriander until well combined. Add the beans and some seasoning, and quickly pulse again to mix.
2.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.
3.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.
4.Serve the burgers in rolls with soured cream, avocado and rocket, with chips and lime wedges on the side, if you like.
