Ingredients

  • Coriander: small bunch coriander, chopped
  • Olive Oil: 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Red Onion: 1 medium red onion, 1/2 diced, 1/2 sliced
  • Tomato: 1 large tomato, sliced, 1/2 cucumber, sliced and chilli sauce, to serve
  • Egg: 1 egg
  • Chickpea: 400g can chickpeas, drained
  • Lemon: zest 1 lemon, plus juice 1/2
  • Ground Cumin: 1 tsp ground cumin
  • Breadcrumb: 100g fresh breadcrumbs
  • Bun: 4 small wholemeal buns

Directions

  1. In a food processor, whizz the chickpeas, lemon zest, lemon juice, cumin, half the coriander, the egg and some seasoning. Scrape into a bowl and mix with 80g of the breadcrumbs and the diced onions. Form 4 burgers, press remaining breadcrumbs onto both sides and chill for at least 10 mins.
  2. Heat the oil in a frying pan until hot. Fry the burgers for 4 mins each side, keeping the heat on medium so they don't burn. To serve, slice each bun and fill with a slice of tomato, a burger, a few red onion slices, some cucumber slices, a dollop of chilli sauce and the remaining coriander.
