Method
To make the burgers:
Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat and fry the onion for 3 mins, until starting to soften
Add the beetroot and beans and fry for 5-8 mins, tossing frequently, until the beans start to crisp
Tip the beetroot mixture into a food processor with the remaining burger ingredients
Blend until it starts to stick together, but still has some texture
Shape into six burger patties and place on a baking tray
Chill in the fridge for 1 hour
Meanwhile, mix together all the ingredients for the slaw in a large bowl and set aside
Brush the burgers with the remaining 1 tbsp oil and fry for 8-10 mins each side, until piping hot and lightly charred
Cut the buns in half and lightly toast under the grill
Spoon some of the slaw onto the buns, top with the burgers, then finish with the mashed avocado
Serve with any remaining slaw on the side
