Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C. Put the garlic, coriander, breadcrumbs, beans, carrots and a pinch of salt in a food processor. Pulse until very finely chopped, stopping before it becomes a purée. If you don’t have a food processor, use a potato masher or fork – the burgers will just be chunkier and more crumbly.
- Shape the mixture into 4 large patties and brush with the oil. Bake for 20mins, then turn and bake for another 10 mins. Serve in buns with salad and chutney, if you like.
- Air-fry the burgers for 15 mins at 180°C, turning halfway.
- Swap butter beans for chickpeas, and use 200g cooked carrots in place of the tinned ones.
