Ingredients

• 225g tinned Chick Peas
• 225g tinned Kidney Beans
• 200g Heinz Five Beans (kidney, haricot, pinto, borlotti, cannellini) - or baked beans
• 2 x cloves of garlic (crushed or finely chopped)
• 300g Sweet Potatoes
• 1/2 squeezed lime
• Pinches or more of spices - Coriander, Chilli Pepper, Fresh Ground Black Pepper, Spanish Paprika, Cumin.
• 3 x Bay Leaves (ripped/chopped up small)

• Sesame seeds (enough to coat all burdgers)
• Olive Oil (enough to coat all burgers)

Instructions

1. Start by peeling and chopping the Sweet Potatoes and preheating the oven to 220 degrees Celsius.
   
2. Boil the sweet potatoes in a pot of water. While they boil away empty beans and chickpeas into a colander, wash and drain.
3. Put the beans and chickpeas into a large bowl and mash. Peel and chop the garlic.
4. Add the garlic and boiled sweet potatoes into the bowl, along with the lime juice and the spices. Continue to mash and mix the contents of the bowl.
5. Now shape the veggie burger mix into 4 good sized burgers, or more smaller ones if you prefer. Pour some sesame seeds into a bowl. Then one at a time, place the burger in the bowl and coat in sesame seeds. Sesame seeds are high in iron, so a great seed to add to dishes.
6. Place burgers on the oven tray and lightly coat in olive oil.
   
7. Cook in the oven for 30 minutes, turning once after 15 minutes.
8. Serve any way you like best and enjoy!
