Method

  1. Simmer the bulgar wheat in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain really well, put back in the pan and put on a lid to steam and dry out for a few more minutes. Cool completely. Cook the onion in a tiny bit of olive oil in a small pan until golden, add the garlic and spices and cook for a few minutes. Cool. Roughly mash the kidney beans so you still have some large bits of bean. Mix in the cooled onion, bulgar and breadcrumbs, then season and form into 4 burgers. Chill for 30 minutes, or until you want to cook them.
  2. To cook, heat a non-stick pan with a little oil. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden and crisp, pushing against the edge of the pan to brown the edges.
  3. Serve in rolls with lettuce and tomatoes and a dollop of yoghurt and chilli sauce.

    I don't get it - every burger, and this is no different, collapses in the flying pan! It just doesn't bind
