Black Bean Burgers in Pitta
Makes 2 servings

INGREDIENTS
Two tins, drained (400 g) Black beans, tinned and drained (Dried on kitchen paper. Wet beans make a patty that will not hold. Drained weight.)
40 g Rolled oats (Dry weight.)
1 large, about 55 g Egg
80 g Red onion
2 cloves, about 6 g Garlic
2 tsp (12 g) Chipotle paste
1 tsp Ground cumin
1 tsp Smoked paprika
8 g Rapeseed oil
2 pittas, about 120 g Wholemeal pitta
80 g Tomato salsa
60 g Greek yogurt, 0% fat

METHOD
1. Mash three quarters of the beans roughly with a fork, then mix in the rest whole with the oats, egg, finely chopped onion, garlic, chipotle, spices and salt.
2. Shape into four patties and chill for 20 minutes so they firm up.
3. Fry in the oil over a medium heat for four minutes a side until dark and crusted. Do not move them before the crust forms.
4. Warm the pittas, split them, and fill each with two patties, salsa and yogurt.

Contains gluten cereals, milk and eggs.
Oats count as a gluten cereal under UK labelling and ordinary oats are milled alongside wheat. Certified gluten-free oats are a separate ingredient here.

RECIPE NOTES
The patties are soft compared with a meat burger. That is how bean burgers are, and the chilling is what keeps them in one piece.
Pitta is 83 g of the carbohydrate. The patties on a plate with the salsa and yogurt are about 410 kcal a serving.
