Curried Carrot & Chickpea burgers.

Serve stacked into a burger bun, pile onto a delicious crunchy salad or enjoy simply as they are with a dollop of mango chutney.

What you will need:

1 can chick peas drained & rinsed

1 red onion peeled and finely chopped

2 carrots washed & grated

2 garlic cloves peeled & crushed or chopped

1 - 2 tbsp curry powder

2 to 3 tbsp of plain flour ( you can use gluten free or chickpea flour)

50g parsley or coriander washed & finely chopped

Salt

Pepper

Olive oil

Let's Cook!

1. First of all get all your ingredients ready then making the burgers are super quick.

2. Grab a shallow pan and pop on a medium heat.

3. Drizzle in a tbsp of olive oil followed by onions and garlic and let cook and soften for 5 mins.

4. Add into the pan your grated carrot & curry powder. Stir together and allow to cook for a few minutes.

5. Whilst the veggies are cooking - pop the chickpeas into a bowl. With a potato masher or fork roughly mash them, leaving some bigger pieces for texture in the burgers.

6. Into your chickpeas add your parsley and a good pinch of salt and pepper.

7. Now all your curried veggies from the pan can be added to the mashed chickpeas.

8. Add your flour and give a good mix - the flour will help bind the burgers.

9. Time to get your hands dirty and make your patties

10. Mould these into 4 patties really squidging each one in your hands.

11. Using the same pan - pop back on a low / medium heat with another drizzle of olive oil. Add your burger patties and gently fry 4/5 minutes each side until golden brown (careful not to burn)

12. When ready remove from the heat.
