2tbsp reduced-salt soy sauce

1tsp smoked paprika

1tsp ground cumin

1tsp ground coriander

60g fresh vegan breadcrumbs

1tsp chipotle paste

30g chopped coriander

zest and juice ½ lime

4 vegan sesame seed burger buns

1 red onion, sliced

juice ½ lime

½tsp chipotle paste

3tbsp vegan mayonnaise

8 rashers Plant Based Meat-Free Bacon Style Rashers

4 slices vegan cheese alternative

1 large tomato, sliced

2tbsp Extra Special Jalapeño Chilli Jam

½ x 85g pack watercress

2 large baking potatoes

1tbsp cornflour

1tsp Cajun seasoning

1tsp rapeseed oil

Method

1
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
2
For the burger, heat 3tbsp rapeseed oil in a large frying pan on a medium-high setting. Add the red onion, garlic, black beans and soy sauce, as well as the smoked paprika, ground cumin and ground coriander. Cook for 5-6 mins until the onion softens and the beans are beginning to break down.
3
Transfer bean mixture to a food processor. Blitz into a rough paste with the breadcrumbs, 1tsp chipotle paste, chopped coriander and the lime zest plus ½ the juice.
4
Shape into 4 patties, put onto the lined baking tray and bake for 15 mins.
5
Toss the red onion in the remaining lime juice. Set aside to pickle for 15 mins or until bright pink in colour, then drain well, discarding the liquid.
6
For the shoestring ‘fries’, cut the baking potatoes into matchsticks. Toss in a mixture of the cornflour and Cajun seasoning. Spread out on a baking tray, drizzle over 1tsp rapeseed oil and bake for 25-30 mins, tossing occasionally, until crisp and golden.
7
Mix ½tsp chipotle paste with the vegan mayonnaise.
8
Cook the bacon-style rashers according to the pack instructions until crisp.
9
Split the burger buns in half, then toast cut-side down in a hot griddle pan until char lines appear.
10
Divide the chipotle mayo, burgers, vegan cheese, cooked ‘bacon’, tomato, chilli jam, pickled red onion and watercress between the 4 bun bases.
11
Sandwich together with the bun tops, then serve the bean burgers with the shoestring fries on the side.
