Recipe
Ingredients
- ½ cup walnuts
- Olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 tins black beans, rinsed & drained
- ½ cup cooked brown rice
- ½ cup breadcrumbs or gluten-free breadcrumbs
- Handful coriander, leaves finely chopped
- ½ tsp chilli flakes
- 1 tsp ground paprika
- 4 slices halloumi

Method
- In frying pan, dry roast walnuts until golden then roughly chop them.
- Add olive oil to your frying pan and cook onions until cooked through.
- Place black beans, walnuts, onion, rice, breadcrumbs, coriander, chilli, paprika and tomato sauce in your food processor and pulse until combined. Don’t over-blend it — you still want it to be chunky.

- Cook patties in your frying pan with some olive oil over medium heat for 4 mins each side until golden.
- Cook halloumi in the frying pan until golden each side.
- Toast your halved buns in the frying pan and then top them with a patty, beetroot relish, halloumi and rocket.
