You'll Need:

 

400g chickpeas;

2 tbsp plain flour;

1 chopped red onion;

1 chopped garlic clove;

1 tsp ground cumin;

1 tsp ground coriander;

1 tsp dry mixed herbs;

1⁄2 tsp chilli powder;

2 tbsp olive oil.

 

Method:

 

1 - Drain the chickpeas and pat them dry with kitchen roll.

 

2 - Blend the chickpeas, flour, garlic, red onion, mixed herbs, cumin, coriander, and chilli powder together with a pinch of salt and pepper until you have a fairly smooth consistency. We chose to have the blender on a lower speed for longer rather than blast into a pulp quickly – Experiment with your blender!

 

3 - Shape the mix into 'burger' patties using your hands. (We find the mix makes two lovely big burgers or four regular sized ones).

 

4 - Quick fry on both sides in olive oil, just to bind the outer surface of the patties, before transferring them to barbecue for that flame grilled taste.

 

5 - Lightly toast pittas on the grill, slice open, add your burgers.

 

Serve with salad and enjoy.

 

Verdict: One was not enough, it's not that they were not filling - they're so tasty that they demand a second helping.
