1 bulb Extra Special Baby Fennel, finely sliced (reserve the feathery leaf fronds for garnish)

2tbsp wine vinegar

1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed

198g can Green Giant Original Sweetcorn, drained and patted dry

100g polenta or semolina

1 red pepper, deseeded and diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, crushed

1tbsp chopped parsley

Method

To make the slaw, put the red cabbage and sliced baby fennel in a bowl. Add the wine vinegar and toss together. Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 200C/ 180C Fan/Gas 6. Bring a pan of water to the boil, add the sweet potato and cook for 5-6 mins until soft. Drain and pat dry. Put in a bowl and mash until smooth.

Add the sweetcorn, semolina, red pepper, onion, garlic, parsley, crushed fennel seeds, paprika and cumin, and mix together.

Using your hands, shape into four patties – the mixture will be quite soft. Put the burgers on a nonstick baking tray and cook in the oven for 20 mins until golden and firm.

Preheat the barbecue or grill to a medium heat. To finish the burgers, brush with the oil and grill for 4-5 mins on each side until they start to char. Briefly toast the cut sides of the burger buns for the last few minutes.

Serve the burgers in the buns, with a dollop of mayonnaise, lettuce leaves, the red cabbage and fennel slaw and a garnish of feathery fennel leaves.
