Ingredients

100g mini cooking chorizo , skins removed
3 pork sausages , squeezed from their skins
¼ tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp lime juice , plus wedges to serve
small bunch coriander , chopped
½ x 400g can mixed beans , drained and rinsed
1 medium egg , lightly whisked
1 ½ tbsp olive oil , plus extra to drizzle
2 ciabatta rolls, split and toasted
soured cream, avocado, small handful rocket and chips , to serve (optional)

Steps:

In a food processor, pulse the chorizo, sausagemeat, paprika, lime juice and coriander until well combined. Add the beans and some seasoning, and quickly pulse again to mix. Tip into a bowl and mix in just enough egg (about half) to bind. Shape into 2 fat burgers, cover and chill for 15 mins. Meanwhile, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
Heat the oil in a pan and fry the burgers for 3 mins on each side. Transfer to a baking sheet and cook in the oven for a further 10 mins until cooked through.
Serve the burgers in rolls with soured cream, avocado and rocket, with chips and lime wedges on the side, if you like.
