Instructions

    In the kitchen:

  • Warm 1 tablespoon oil in a nonstick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion, peppers and garlic and cook for 3–5 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally. Add the black beans and cook for about 2 minutes just until any excess moisture from the beans is evaporated, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Transfer the bean mixture to a food processor. Add the remaining ingredients and pulse 10–12 times until the beans are coarsely puréed. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Next, gently form four burgers using the ¼ lb setting on the Weber Burger Press, shape your patties. Place on a greaseproof paper-lined roasting tray and cover with clingfilm. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours (If not, they will be too soft to turn on the grill.)
  • Mix the chipotle cream ingredients. Cover and refrigerate.
  • At the barbecue:

  • Prepare the grill for grilling/direct cooking over medium heat (180–230°C/350–450°F).
  • Brush the burgers on both sides with oil. Grill over grilling/direct medium heat for 8–10 minutes, with the lid closed, until heated through, turning once.
    Brush the burgers on both sides with oil. Grill over grilling/medium heat for 8–10 minutes, with the lid closed, until heated through, turning once.
  • During the last minute of grilling, toast the buns, cut side down, over grilling/direct heat. Spread the top bun halves with avocado. Top the bottom bun halves with lettuce, tomato, a burger and chipotle cream. Serve warm.
