Chick pea burgers

Zoe - you're so demanding, but here it is:

Chick pea burgers - inspired by Gillian McKeith.

Not far off falafel really, but with less oil, and a few extra vegetables for that healthy measure.
Turn the oven on to 220C. Get out your food processor!
Put in the following, and give it a good blending:

  • 1 tin of chick peas
  • One large / two small carrots - cut into chunks
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 small chopped onion or some springs onions
  • Good handful of fresh corainder

I also like to add:

  • 1 tsp cumin
  • pinch of chili flakes
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
When all is turned into a good paste, make your burger shapes - not too big so they get plenty of crisp on the outside. Drop them on your really non-stick baking tray and pop them in the oven for 25 mins.

Serve with salad of your choice, and lemon wedges.

Enjoy!
