Chilli Burgers With Roasted Pepper Relish

Submitted by Wild Thyme Flour

"Economical burger recipe that can be frozen. The meat is extended with mashed kidney beans, and its hard to tell. People are surprised when they ask me for the recipe, to find the cleverly disguised addition. Recipe adapted from 'hot and spicy cookbook'. Serve in breadrolls with some sliced avocado, tomato and rucola leaves. Allow enough time to refrigerate the relish, relish best made a day ahead"
