These burgers have a great meaty texture and a punchy flavour from the thyme and allspice. The sweet, vinegary, chilli sauce is my tropical answer to the ubiquitous tomato sauce that might normally be served. Using beans rather than meat does give this burger a slightly healthy tone but if you feel hard done by you can always serve it with some sweet potato wedges if you fancy. I was a little sceptical about how filling these burgers would be but because of the huge amount of beans they are incredibly satisfying.

Put the drained beans into a large bowl and roughly crush them with a masher or the back of a spoon.

Taste the mixture to check the seasoning and when you are happy crack in the egg, mix well and then form into burger shapes.

Drain the pineapple and then put into a saucepan with all the remaining ingredients except the cornflour.
Bring the mixture to the boil, stirring occasionally, and boil for around five minutes.
Mix the cornflour with a little water to make a paste and then mix this into the sauce.
Bring the mixture back to the boil then remove from the heat.
Blend the pineapple sauce until mostly smooth but with some pineapple chunks still left.
Put to one side to cool down.

Heat a grill to high.
Put the burgers onto some baking paper on a tray and then grill for a few minutes on each side or until hot throughout and crispy on each side.
Serve the burgers in the crusty rolls with a healthy dollop of pineapple sauce.
