Method

  • Drain the chickpeas and place in a blender or food processor. Add remaining burger ingredients and whizz to form a paste. The ground flaxseed and ground chia seeds will help the mixture bind together.
  • Season with salt and pepper and adjust to taste.
  • Using your hands, shape into burger-shape patties. You can leave these in the refrigerator for 15 mins or overnight to help the burgers keep their shape or can be cooked immediately, but just be a little careful in handling the burgers to ensure they retain their shape.
  • If pan-frying: In a frying pan or griddle pan, melt a little coconut oil or add rapeseed oil and gently pan fry burgers 4 mins on each side on a low heat.
  • If baking: bake the burgers on greased and lined baking parchment at 190C (170C fan) for 18-20 mins.
  • Serve on a bed of guacamole in gem lettuce cups as pictured.
  • To make the Homemade Guacamole: Blend together all these ingredients to form a lovely creamy dip.
