2 cloves garlic

1 jalapeno pepper

Half a red pepper,

Method:

Place onion, jalapeno and garlic in a food processor and blitz until the ingredients are diced finely.

Add the sweetcorn, black beans, cumin, curry powder, oregano, and cayenne. Season with salt and pepper and then blitz into a well mixed.

Place mixture into a mixing bowl, cover with cling film and place in the refrigerator for at least two hours.

Remove chilled mixture from refrigerator and stir in breadcrumbs. Divide the mixture into four equal burgers (patties) and coat both sides with flour.

Pour the oil into a heavy frying pan over a medium heat and cook patties for 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until a crust develops and the patties are heated through. Alternatively pop on your BBQ and cook for 5-7 minutes each side until heated through.

Remove patties from heat and place onto burger buns. Assemble burger with toppings such as lettuce, avocado, tomatoes and cheese and condiments of your choice and serve.
