Serves 2 (or 4 as a light meal)

Ingredients

1 tspn olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 small carrot, grated
½ green pepper, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed or finely chopped
½ tspn dried oregano
½ tspn (or to your taste) chilli powder
1 large (15oz) can red kidney beans
Salt and black pepper
Rice flour

For the salad:

Rocket
Tomatoes
Spring onions
Radish
Pepper

Preparation method

1 Add the olive oil to a non-stick pan and sauté the onion, carrot and chilli for about 5 mins.
2 Add the garlic, oregano and chilli powder and cook for another minute, then remove from the heat.
3 Drain the beans and roughly mash them, adding salt and pepper to season, then mix thoroughly with the cooked vegetables.
4 Preheat the oven to 200°C.
5 Sprinkle flour onto a flat surface, and lightly flour your hands. Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts on the floured surface and shape them into patties, making sure they’re fully coated in flour.
6 Lightly oil a baking tray and place the patties on it. Bake them in the oven for 20 minutes, turning half way through the cooking time.
7 Serve with a fresh, crisp salad made from the ingredients listed, or those of your own choice. (Add dressing as desired.)
