Kicker Veggie Burgers



Doesn't this just look like the tastiest rainbow plate of food you've ever seen. This was a bit of an experiment but worked really well. Sweet potato veggie burgers with a kick with beetroot, radish and horseradish slaw. 

To make four burgers - 
2 medium sweet potatoes 
1 can of sweet corn (or frozen) 
2 spring onions, thinly sliced
1 tbl sp tomato purée 
1 chilli, thinly sliced (flakes or powered rework too) 
Handful of coriander chopped (I used the lazy stuff in the jar so I always have some in the fridge)
2 tbl sp of breadcrumbs 

Pierce the potatoes and roast in the oven at 200c for around 35 - 45 mins, until soft and cooked through. In a mixing bowl add all other ingredients apart from the breadcrumbs and mix, if you're using frozen corn make sure you've cook this through first. 

Once the potatoes are cooked scoop out the soft flesh and add into the bowl with the other ingredients. Mix really well so the ingredients are even throughout. The mixture might be quite sticky so add a little breadcrumbs to help bind the mixture, a sprinkling of flour can help too. 

Shape into burger patties and place on a baking tray, and bake in the oven until golden and crunchy on the outside. If you don't want right away these freeze really well and can be cooked from frozen when you need a quick fix dinner. 

For the slaw
Thinly slice beets and radishes and add a spoonful of horseradish and light mayo, add a little salt and pepper and combine. Simple! 

This plate might be a bright ray of sunshine with a warm kick, but it's certainly not like that outside.  I'd been fooled by the odd day of sunshine that it was ok to go out without a coat today and swiftly regretted it. This made me think the perfect track for this dinner would be Sweater Weather by The Neighbourhood which I'm hearing everywhere at the moment and love.
