We were going to call these millennial burgers because ho-ho avocado but then we realised we weren't that insufferably tedious, so these are veggie burgers you can do on the BBQ or under the grill. We're not fussed! They look a little dry and to be fair, they are - that's why you use avocado, to grease the wheels and add a different layer of taste! So don't skimp on it - the syns are there to be used AND think of this way, nothing with eyelashes has died to make your burger. You swine!
Ingredients
- 400g button mushrooms, chopped small
- 2 tins of butterbeans, drained
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 4 wholemeal rolls (4x HeB)
- few handfuls of rocket or lettuce
- 300g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 avocado, mashed (14 syns)
- few drops of lime
- few tbsp of our proper tasty coleslaw
Instructions
- spray a large saucepan with a little oil and cook the chopped mushrooms until soft and all of the liquid has evaporated
- add the butterbeans to the pan and cook for an extra minute or two, stirring frequently
- remove from the heat and mash with a potato masher until well mixed
- add the garlic and give another mash
- divide the mixture into four, roll into balls and then flatten into burger shapes
- carefully slide the burgers onto the barbecue and cook for 3-4 minutes each side - avoid turning them more than once as they're quite fragile
- if cooking on the hob, do the same but on a large frying pan over a high heat
- assemble the burger by layering cherry tomatoes, salad leaves and coleslaw, then the burger, and then topping with the mashed avocado - add a pinch of salt and some lime juice onto that avocado and then shove it in your big, gaping gob!
Notes
- Fry Light is gonna knacker your pans - get one of these instead!
- don't shit yourself at the syn value for the avocado - they're really tasty and really good for you!
- looking for coleslaw recipe - but natch - click here
- chuck whatever else you like in the burger - cheese, fried onions, etc - whatever you want!
- mince the garlic in seconds with one of these excellent Microplane graters - no fiddly bits, easy to wash and you can use it for all sorts!
