1

Heat 0.5 tbsp of the [vegetable oil] in a large lidded pan over a medium heat. Fry the [carrots, grated] for 10 minutes, then add the cloves (3 garlic) and cumin seeds (2 tsp) and fry for 1 minute more.
2

Put the butter beans (210 g), crunchy peanut butter (4 tbsp), zest (1 lime), and self-raising flour (2 tbsp) in a food processor. Season with salt and pepper and blitz until smooth. Add half the cooked carrot mixture, pulse briefly, then add the rest and pulse to combine. Be careful not to blend too much or the mix will be too wet. Chill for 30 minutes to firm up.
3

Meanwhile, wipe the frying pan with kitchen paper, then heat 0.5 tbsp [vegetable oil] over a low heat. Add the onion (1 red) and a pinch of [salt], cover and fry for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened slightly. Remove the lid, add the demerara sugar (2 tsp) and red wine vinegar (2 tbsp) and increase the heat to high; simmer vigorously, uncovered, for 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
4

Put the natural breadcrumbs (3 tbsp) on a small plate. Divide the chilled carrot mix into 4 and, with damp hands, shape into patties about 2.5cm thick. Roll in the [natural breadcrumbs] to coat.
5

Wipe out the frying pan and heat the remaining [vegetable oil] over a low heat. Fry the burgers for 9-10 minutes until golden brown and crisp, turning halfway. Toss the avocado (1) with the lime juice (1 tbsp). Serve the burgers in the white rolls (4 crusty) with the lettuce leaves (4 round), tomatoes (2 vine), and onions.
