I've been struggling to come up with any recipes for the latest recipe competition (the orange) mostly because oranges don't really feature in my diet because they are lacking flavour in the UK even when it is the season for them. Somehow they just don't compare to what comes off the trees in Greece and Turkey at this time of year. Anyhow this recipe did appeal to be because it is easily made vegan and full of flavour, plus it has an salsa featuring oranges!
Makes: 6
Ingredients
Salsa
2 navel oranges, separated and cut into small pieces
1 large tomato, finely diced
1 onion, sliced thinly
1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed or chopped very finely

2 tsp olive oil
1 small jalapeno pepper seeded and chopped finely
salt, to taste
Black Bean Burgers
4 cups cooked black beans, (retain cooking or cans liquid if making vegan version)
2 eggs or 2tbsp of aquafaba
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, diced finely
2 garlic cloves, crushed out chopped finely

Method
- Combine all the salsa ingredients in a bowl. Let sit for at least 1 hour.
- Place 1 cup of black beans in a food processor with the 2 eggs (or 2 tbsp of bean water) and process until smooth.
- Stir this mixture into the remaining beans along with the bread crumbs.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the onion, garlic, red pepper and celery and saute until very tender and beginning to soften. Sprinkle on the cumin, stir and cook 1 more minute.
- Add the onion mixture to the bean mixture, mix well and season to taste.
- Preheat oven to 375F, 190C, Gas mark 5.
- Lightly oil a baking sheet.
- Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, scoop up 12 portions of the bean mixture and place on the baking sheet. Flatten out with the scoop or your hand.
- Bake for 20 minutes, turning over half way through cooking.
- (It is also possible to fry the burgers to cook them, just repeat the above instructions in a frying pan or griddle)
- Serve the bean burgers with a spoonful of salsa on each, in a bread roll out burger bap,or whatever takes your fancy! You could even reshape them and serve then in a wrap.
