Spicy Bean Burger with Homemade Coleslaw

Method

1. Heat the oil in a medium frying pan, add the onion and garlic and sauté for 2 - 3 minutes or until softened. Add the chilli and carrot to the pan and sauté for a further 1 - 2 minutes stirring constantly. 2. In a large bowl mix the prepared beans together with the breadcrumbs, cheese, yeast extract, herbs and onion mixture and enough beaten egg to bind together without making the mixture too sticky. Season to taste. 3. Using the flour, divide the mixture into 6 equal amounts and shape into burger shapes. Place on a plate and chill in a fridge for 30 minutes. 4. Heat the remaing oil in a large frying pan and sauté the bean burgers over a medium heat for 10 -12 minutes turning over frequently until piping hot and golden brown. 5. Meanwhile, whisk the mayonnaise together with the yogurt, lemon juice and seasoning to taste and stir in the carrot ribbons and shredded cabbage. Serve immediately with the cooked bean burgers and a little salad if liked. Cook's Note These bean burgers can be frozen if liked before cooking.
