Tonight I was using up leftovers, I hate seeing any food go to waste….lol!

With a sweet potato and 1/2 can of mixed beans, I decided on a burgers, my first time at a sweet potato burger too. It was absolutely delicious.

Makes 2

1 sweet potato

1/2 can of mixed beans ( I used five bean salad)

1/2 garlic clove

1 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp chilli flakes

1/2 tsp ground smoked paprika

1/2 tsp ground coriander

1/2 tsp salt

black pepper and nutmeg to taste

1 tsp maple syrup

2 tbsp flour to help bind

1 tsp sesame seeds

1. Cook the sweet potato, you can roast in an oven or boil them, I preferred to steam cook them as it keeps more of the flavour in. I used my fabulous Steam Accessory I got with my new Hotpoint oven. Only took 4 minutes. 
2. Meanwhile, empty the beans and all the spices into a bowl and mix.  
3. Then add the cooked potato to the bowl – please allow the potato to cool first. Take a masher and mash up.                   
4. Preheat the oil in a pan to medium heat.
5. If the mixture is too wet, add in a little flour to help bind. Take handful of mixture and make into a burger like shape.
6. Top with sesame seeds then cook for about 5 minutes on each.
7. Serve. Yummy!
