Ingredients

  • 350g diced butternut and sweet potato
  • 250g Merchant Gourmet Smoky Spanish-Style Grains & Rice
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika, plus extra for sprinkling
  • 25g flat leaf parsley, half roughly chopped, half leaves only
  • 1 unwaxed lemon, zest, plus juice to serve
  • 1 tsp plain flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 2 tsp sunflower oil
  • 4 large burger buns, halved
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 4 tbsp heaped tbsp mayonnaise
  • 120g rainbow side salad

Method

  1. Simmer the squash and sweet potato in salted water for 8-10 minutes until tender, then drain and mash. Mix with the grains and rice, 2 tsp paprika, chopped parsley, lemon zest and 1 tsp flour; season. Shape into 4 burgers, dusting your hands with a little flour to help.

  2. Heat the oil in a nonstick frying pan and cook the burgers over a medium heat for 5 minutes on each side, until dark golden. Meanwhile, heat the grill and toast the buns, cut-side up. Stir the garlic into the mayonnaise and toss the parsley leaves with the rainbow salad.

  3. Put a handful of salad leaves on each bun bottom and sit a burger on top. Add a good dollop of garlic mayo and sprinkle with a little paprika, then add some red pepper slices and beetroot shreds from the salad. Put each on a plate, squeeze over the lemon juice and add the bun top.

Cook’s tip

This burger mix also makes a good alternative to falafel in a warm salad. Shape into rounds and brown in oil. Tumble with the rainbow salad, a can of chickpeas, crushed garlic and a little lemon juice and olive oil.
