INGREDIENTS

• 1 ½ tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1. Heat 2 tsp of the oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.  Add onion and cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until softened.  Add carrot and beetroot and cook for 2 mins.  Add curry paste and cook, stirring, for 1 minute until aromatic.  Set aside to cool completely. 

1. Process bean mix and coriander in a food processor until coarsely chopped.  Place onion mixture, bean mixture and breadcrumbs in a bowl.  Use hands to mix until combined.  Shape into 4 flat patties (or 6 if you want smaller burgers).  Place extra breadcrumbs onto a plate.  Press patties into breadcrumbs to lightly coat.
