SponsoredOrigin Pinot Grigio Organic
The nation's favourite tipple in an organic bundle. A great value wine, from Italy's ever popular Pinot Grigio grape. This wine is perfectly balanced with juicy pear and peach notes and soft floral aromas
Description
I designed this recipe for my son to use at school as it was very easy and yet tastes great.
Method

Place bread in a blender adn blend until you have crumbs, place aside until required.
Drain mixed beans ( you could use kidney beans if you wanted) and place these in blender with tomato ketchup / puree, garlic, paprika, seasoning and chilli. Blend to required texture. Make sure it's not too smooth as it will be difficult to form patties.
When done stir in corn, spring onion, half the bread crumbs and carrots to mixture.
Mix well then form 8 small patties from mixture.
You can grill, fry or bake them now for around 4-5 minutes a side or alternatively flour, egg wash and coat them in bread crumbs before cooking.
If you coat them I find gently frying them in a pan for 4 mins a side is the best method of cooking.
Serve with seeded buns or just with a crisp green salad and relish.
Chef's Tips
Again you can add what you lie to your burgers. If you don't like corn add another veg you do like, the choices are endless.
My son made sweet potato chips with his and the whole class loved them.
