A  spicy beef burger becomes a spicy butter bean patty burger.

Jack’s Bean Patties (From Nadiya Hussain’s Bake Me a Story)

Ingredients

2x400g can butter beans, drained and rinsed

100g breadcrumbs

half a teaspoon of paprika

1 tsp cumin powder

1 tsp mild curry powder

Handful of coriander (cilantro), leaves and stems, roughly chopped

1 tsp salt

2 eggs

Preheat the oven to 180ºC fan. Line a baking tray with grease proof paper. Tip the beans into a bowl and crush with a potato masher. Add the breadcrumbs, spices, salt, coriander and eggs. Using damp hands, mix everything together and make six bean patties. Bake for 25-30 mins, until golden brown and crisp around the edges. You can eat in baps as a burger or with a salad.

Deep Fried Onion Rings Become Baked Onion Rings

(This recipe is from skinnytaste.com)

 

• 1 medium onion, sliced into 1/4 inch rings
• 2 1/4 cups low fat buttermilk
• 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup Italian seasoned whole wheat bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup crushed corn flake crumbs
• salt to taste
• olive oil baking spray
• Place slices of onion in a shallow dish. Pour the buttermilk over the top and let them soak for about 1 – 2 hours, refrigerated. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.Line baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Combine panko, bread crumbs and corn flakes and place half of the crumbs in a large dish, season with salt. Reserve the rest for when the first batch is used up. This should help avoid clumping and they should stick better to the onions. Dip each soaked onion ring into the crumb mixture; coat well. Place rings onto two cookie sheets. Lightly spray with oil.Bake about 12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.

 

Deep Fried Chips become PRINCESS™ Fried Chips. (PRINCESS™ is a special frier that uses hot air to fry things instead of oil. You can even make cupcakes in it!!).

You just need to peel and slice the potatoes into chips (or any shape you like; I prefer diced potatoes) as usual, salt them and follow the instructions in your PRINCESS™ instructions manual. You can see the results and the magic machine below.
