Chickpea Burgers

These are so delicious, we had them with a huge green salad, homemade Tzatiki and some oven baked potato wedges...
Give them a try...


You will need:

1 tin chickpeas - drained
2 carrots - grated
3 baby marrows - grated
3 spring onions - chopped
2 - 3 Tblsp fresh parsley - chopped
1/2 tsp crushed garlic
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander 
salt 
black pepper
3 Tblsp flour (and extra flour for dusting)
Canola oil for frying

Drain the chickpeas well and pulse in a food processor to chop - I used a handheld blender and mashed them quite well.
Add the rest of the ingredients and mix till well combined.
Gently form the mixture into patties and roll/pat3 in flour.
Fry for about 3 - 5 minutes, or until crispy and heated through.

Tzatiki
cucumber - grated (I used about a 1/3 of a cucumber)
greek yogurt
pinch or 2 of salt (to taste)
1/2 tsp crushed garlic

Enjoy with a salad or on a crispy roll.

  1. Shelley! I have a tin of chickpeas that's been hiding in the back of the pantry cupboard for nigh two months now (were meant for a salad that never saw the light) and now you've given me the perfect excuse to open it tonight. It looks delicious, will let you know how we've enjoyed it. Xxx
