Ingredients

400g can black beans, rinsed, drained

425g can diced beetroot, well drained

4 green spring onions, finely chopped

2 carrots, coarsely grated

200g block Greek feta, crumbled

¾ cup self-raising flour

1½ tblsps harissa seasoning

2 eggs, lightly beaten

Method

Step 1

To make patties, place beans in a large bowl. Lightly crush with a fork. Add beetroot, onions, carrot, feta, flour and seasoning. Toss to coat. Add eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well.

Step 2

Heat enough oil in a large, non-stick frying pan, to shallow-fry over a medium heat.

Step 3

Spoon 1/3 cup beetroot mixture into pan. Spread gently into a 10cm round. Repeat to make three more patties.

Step 4

Cook for about 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer to an oven tray lined with baking paper. Place in a very slow oven (120C) to keep warm. Repeat with remaining mixture to make 12 patties.

Step 5

Meanwhile, place rolls, cut-side up, on a separate oven tray. Cover with foil.

Step 6

Heat in same very slow oven (120C) for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until lightly toasted.

Step 7

To serve, top cut-side of each roll half with lettuce, two patties, tzatziki and sprouts.
