INGREDIENTS
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 thick slices white bread (about 85 grams / 3 oz), torn into large pieces
  • 400 grams / 14 ounces can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 200 grams / 7 ounces can sweet corn with peppers, drained
  • 2 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil, for shallow frying
  • 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning mix
  • 2 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 75 grams / 2 1/2 ounces baby corn, trimmed and halved lengthways
  • 2 baby sweet orange peppers, halved and deseeded
  • 2 red chillies, halved and deseeded
  • 10 plum cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 spring onion, trimmed and sliced lengthways
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander
  • Seasoning

METHOD
Heat the oil in a pan and gently fry the garlic and onion for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened, set aside to cool for 5-10 minutes. Place the bread in a food processor and process to fine crumbs.

Put the beans and sweetcorn in a bowl and crush to a pulp with a potatoes masher. Stir in the breadcrumbs, onion mixture and coriander. Season. Divide into six portions and, using wet hands, shape the mixture into burgers. Arrange on a baking sheet, cover with plastic film and chill for at least 30 minutes or until required.

Heat the oil for shallow frying in a large pan. Sprinkle a little cajun seasoning both sides of the burgers and gently fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until lightly browned and piping hot.

Meanwhile, brush a griddle pan or frying pan with the vegetable oil, heat and cook the baby corn, peppers and chillies for 2-3 minutes until lightly charred, pressing down with a fork to achieve the desired effect. Add the tomatoes to the griddle pan and cook for a further 2 minutes. Stir in the spring onion and coriander and cook for 30 seconds.

Arrange the burgers on two warmed plates. Top with the griddled vegetables. Serve with a lightly dressed mixed salad, if liked.
