Slice half the onion into rings. Grate the remaining onion into a bowl. Grate the potatoes into the same bowl and add the egg, half the cornflour, sea salt and black pepper. Mix well.<\/li><li>Make the r\u00f6sti; heat a medium, non-stick frying pan with 1 tsp oil on a medium-high heat. Add the potato mix to the pan and use a spatula to flatten into a disc that fills the pan. Cook for 4 mins then slide the r\u00f6sti onto a plate. Place another plate on top and flip, so that the cooked side faces up. Slide it back into the pan, uncooked side down. Fry for another 4 mins, then transfer to a lined baking tray and bake for 15 mins. Keeping the pan on the heat, form the mince into a half-moon-shaped burger; it should fill half the pan. Cook for 5 mins on each side, then transfer to a baking tray. Bake for 5 mins.<\/li><li>Make the slaw; thinly slice the cabbage and grate the carrot. Place both in a bowl with sea salt, black pepper and 1 tsp olive oil, then mix.<\/li><li>Slice half the tomato. Dice the remaining tomato. Trim the lettuce, separate the leaves and put 2 leaves aside for later. Make the salad; chop the remaining lettuce, place in a bowl with 1 tsp olive oil and the diced tomato, then season with sea salt and black pepper.<\/li><li>Make the \u2018cheese\u2019 sauce; dissolve the remaining cornflour in a saucepan with 50ml cold water. Add the cream, nutritional yeast, mustard and a pinch of black pepper. Cook on a medium heat, until thickened.<\/li><li>Cut the r\u00f6sti in half. Top half the r\u00f6sti with the leaves, tomato, onion rings and beef. Pour the &#8216;cheese&#8217; sauce over the beef and top with the remaining half r\u00f6sti. Slice the burger in half, secure with skewers and serve with the salad and slaw.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mindfulchef.com\/healthy-recipes\/black-bean-cheese-burger-with-sweet-potato-fries\" target=\"_blank\">Black bean &#8216;cheese&#8217; burger with sweet potato fries<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"599\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mindfulchef.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Burger_Bean_Plate_Aug_2021_010-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mindfulchef.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Burger_Bean_Plate_Aug_2021_010-1.jpg 599w, https:\/\/www.mindfulchef.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Burger_Bean_Plate_Aug_2021_010-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Crushed black beans, spiced with chilli, cumin and paprika, make the perfect burgers.
