CHICKPEA BURGERS

Steps:

• Place the chickpeas, carrot, garlic, onion, eggs and salt in a food processor and pulse until combined. Transfer to a medium bowl, add the breadcrumbs and sesame seeds and stir or gently knead to combine. The mixture will be moist.
• Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture with an ice cream scoop then form into a patty with your hands. You should have 9 patties.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook the patties in a single layer until golden brown on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip the patties, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook until golden brown and heated through, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and repeat with the remaining patties.
• Serve on the buns with your desired toppings and condiments.

CARROT-CHICKPEA BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a skillet over medium. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add carrots; season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, 1 minute. In a food processor, pulse 1 cup chickpeas, rice, panko, and egg to a paste.
• Add remaining chickpeas, carrot mixture, 1/2 cup cilantro, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; pulse to combine. Shape into four 3/4-inch-thick patties; refrigerate 20 minutes.
• Stir together yogurt, remaining 1/4 cup cilantro, and 1 teaspoon oil; season. Heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add burgers and cook until golden, 3 to 4 minutes a side. Serve over lettuce with more carrots, yogurt sauce, a drizzle of oil, and a sprinkle of pepper and cilantro leaves.

CHICKPEA BURGER

Steps:

• Peel the carrots, grate them coarsely and set them aside.
• Peel and roughly chop the garlic.
• Drain and rinse the chickpeas and put them into a food processor with the garlic, ground spices, salt and pepper. Slightly process to obtain a rough paste then add the carrot, egg, and flour and process briefly until evenly mixed but slightly rugged.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan and divide the mixture into 8. Fry in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden, then drain on kitchen paper.
• Keep opened chickpea can to cut round shapes in bread slices. Toast each slice in toaster or in frying pan.
• Serve with slices of tomato and red onions and mayonnaise.

CARROT & SESAME BURGERS

Steps:

• Put a third of the grated carrot in a food processor with the chickpeas, onion, 2 tbsp tahini, cumin and egg. Whizz to a thick paste, then scrape into a large bowl. Heat 1 tbsp oil in your largest frying pan, tip in the remaining carrot and cook for 8-10 mins, stirring until the carrot is softened - it will become more golden as it is cooked. Add this cooked carrot to the whizzed paste with the breadcrumbs, lemon zest and sesame seeds. Add seasoning, then mix together well with your hands.
• Divide the mixture into 6, then using wet hands shape into burgers. Cover and chill until serving. Mix the yogurt with the remaining tahini and lemon juice, then chill.
• Fire up the barbecue, or heat a non-stick frying pan and brush the burgers with the remaining oil. Cook the burgers for 5 mins on each side, until golden and crisp. Meanwhile warm or toast the buns (or sit them on the barbecue alongside the burgers). When the burgers are ready, spread each bun with some of the lemony sesame yogurt, add the avocado, top with the burger, onion and rocket. Finish with a drizzle of chilli sauce.

CHICKPEA & CORIANDER BURGERS

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.
