Quick and Easy Beetroot Burgers

For the burgers:

• 1 scoop Red Fusion
• 2 cans of black beans - Drained
• 1 1/2 cups grated beetroot
• 1 onion – Finely diced
• 1 garlic clove – Crushed
• 1 handful of fresh basil – Chopped
• Pinch of salt

For the fillings:

• 5-6 whole meal buns
• 5-6 cheese slices
• Rocket
• Red onion – Sliced
• 1 avocado – Sliced
• 1 tomato – Sliced
• Alfalfa sprouts

1. Step 1: Place all burger ingredients in a food processor and pulse to combine. Be careful not to overwork as this will make them too sloppy.
2. Step 2: Heat cooking oil in a fry pan on medium heat and place burgers in to cook until browned on each side.
3. Step 3: While the burgers are cooking, prepare the fillings and buns.
4. Step 4: Buns can be lightly browned under a grill or served fresh. We grilled ours.
5. Step 5: Once burgers are cooked, place on bun with the cheese slice on top so the cheese starts to melt.
6. Step 6: Pile your choice of toppings on in any order.
7. Step 7: Best enjoyed immediately and served with homemade chips or wedges and sauce of choice.
