Method

  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and gently fry the onion for 5 mins until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min. Add the oats and fry for 2 mins more. Tip into a bowl and set aside to cool.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients to the cooled mixture and mix well with your hands. Season to taste and shape into 8 patties.
  3. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat the remaining olive oil in a large, non-stick frying pan and sear the burgers on each side until well coloured (3-4 mins). Transfer to a baking sheet and cook in the oven for 10-15 mins. Serve in rolls with Tangy tomato chutney and cucumber slices.
  4. For the chutney heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a pan and add 1 finely chopped onion. Cook for 5 mins until softened. Stir in 1 crushed garlic clove and cook for a further min. Add 1 tbsp sundried tomato paste, a 400g can good-quality chopped tomatoes and a pinch of sugar. Gently cook for 20-25 mins until rich and thick. Season to taste, then leave to cool before serving.

    Fabulous! The texture was great. I didn't put in apricots, though, as I don't like them. I will definitely play about with this one!

    I was a bit dubious at first about this recipe because of the quantity of porridge oats, but once they were toasted and cooked with the onions and garlic they were a great addition to bind everything together. the taste was absolutely lovely and all the children ate them...thumbs up ! A really easy recipe to make and i have frozen some too.

    A little too strong on the garlic but I didn't pan fry first so that's probably why. Otherwise excellent.
