Direction :
Preheat the oven to 180C fan, gas mark 6.
Place the onions, pepper and garlic on a large roasting tray, drizzle with half the oil and roast for 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, toss the cooked black beans, sunblush tomatoes and their oil together, season with black pepper and set to one side.
Remove the vegetables from the oven. Add chopped tomatoes and sprinkle over the sugar, chilli, salt, pepper and 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar. Roast for a further 10-15 minutes or until the tomatoes look lightly charred.
To make the burgers, simply place the mince in a bowl. Season really well with salt and black pepper and mix well with your hands. Divide the mixture into 4 and shape into burgers.
Mix the roasted vegetables together with the black beans and dress with the remaining olive oil and balsamic. Set to one side.
To cook the burgers, heat a griddle pan until really hot. Rub the burgers all over with the olive oil. Place the burgers in the hot pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly charred. Turn them over and cook for a further 3-4 minutes for medium.
To serve, spoon the chilli into a warm serving bowl and scatter over the coriander. Pile the burgers on a board and take to the table with a basket lined with greaseproof paper filled with skinny chips.
For skinny chips – wash and cut 450g potatoes into thin chips. Place in a roasting tray lined with baking parchment. Drizzle over 2 tbsp olive oil and toss well. Season well and place in a preheated oven 180C fan, gas mark 6 for 20-25 minutes until golden and crisp.
