cooling time 30 minutes
Total Time 1 hour

Ingredients

  • 3 14.5oz beans - canned, I used black beans, kidney beans and pinto beans
  • 1 onion - peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 garlic - cloves, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 cup TVP
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Chili powder
  • 2 tsp Cumin - powdered
  • 2 cups Cornmeal - fine, or masa harina

Instructions

  • Place all the ingredients except the TVP and cornmeal into a large pan, bring to the boil, then turn down, cover and simmer for half an hour.
  • Now add the TVP, stir well, turn off the heat and leave to cool.
  • Once cold, separate the chili into two. Reserve one half for another use.
  • Add the cornmeal to one half, stirring well until you have a handleable mixture.
  • Form into 6-8 patties and fry off in a little vegetable oil.
  • To air fry, preheat air fryer to 200c bake. Lightly spray both sides of the burgers with a little oil. Place in the basket and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until browned and cook through (air fryers may vary)

Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
