What ingredients are used in Peri-Peri Bean Burger from Nando's?

Nando's-style Peri-Peri Bean Burger uses bean patties, brioche burger buns, Peri-Peri sauce, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, tomato, red onion, lettuce, olive oil, salt, pepper and optionally avocado. The spicy mayo combines mayonnaise with Peri-Peri sauce for extra flavour.

How to cook Peri-Peri Bean Burger from Nando's at home?

Learn how to cook Peri-Peri Bean Burger from Nando's by cooking seasoned bean patties in olive oil until golden, toasting brioche buns, creating a spicy mayo with Peri-Peri sauce, melting cheese on the patties, and assembling with fresh vegetables. The signature Nando's flavour comes from the Peri-Peri sauce drizzled over the patty.

Can I make a vegan version of this spicy bean burger?

Absolutely! Substitute the cheese for a vegan alternative, use plant-based mayonnaise, and ensure your bean patties don't contain animal products. Most Peri-Peri sauces are naturally vegan, but always check the label. This creates a delicious vegan burger with the same spicy kick.

How can I make these bean patties from scratch instead of using pre-made ones?

To make homemade bean patties, mash 2 cups of cooked black beans or chickpeas, mix with 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 egg (or flax egg), diced onion, garlic, and spices like cumin and paprika. Form into patties and refrigerate for 30 minutes before cooking as directed in the recipe.
