Chickpea And Corn Patties Food

ROASTED CORN AND CHICKPEA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the corn and chickpeas in a medium bowl. Add the coriander, 1 tablespoon of the oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a couple turns of pepper and mix well. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
• Whisk together the vinegar and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Slowly drizzle in the remaining 4 tablespoons oil. Add the corn mixture, tomatoes and scallions and toss to combine.

THE BEST VEGAN BURGER

Steps:

• Drain the chickpeas and sweetcorn, then tip into a food processor. Pick the coriander leaves, adding half the leaves and all the stalks to the processor.
• Add the spices, flour and a pinch of sea salt, finely grate in the lemon zest, then pulse until combined, but not smooth - you want to retain a bit of texture.
• On a flour-dusted surface, divide and shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, roughly 2cm thick. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up.
• Heat a splash of oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat, add the patties and cook for 10 minutes, or until golden and cooked through, turning halfway.
• Meanwhile, click off, wash and spin-dry four nice lettuce leaves, then finely slice the tomatoes horizontally.
• Squeeze a large dollop of ketchup onto the base of each bun (toast them if you like), then top with the burgers. Layer over a couple of slices of tomato, a lettuce leaf, a few coriander leaves and finally the burger tops. Delicious served with a fresh green salad.

SPICY CORN & CHICKPEA BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF/gas 6.
• Scrub the sweet potatoes clean, then halve and cut into wedges. Sprinkle over a pinch of sea salt and black pepper and 1½ teaspoons of paprika (save the rest for the burgers). Drizzle with ½ tablespoon of olive oil, toss to coat and spread in one layer onto two baking trays.
• Bake in the hot oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
• While your wedges are cooking, drain the chickpeas and sweetcorn and place in a food processor. Pick the coriander leaves, then add half to the processor along with all of the stalks. If you don't have a food processor, place in a bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork.
• Add the spices, flour and a pinch of sea salt, grate in the lemon zest, then pulse until combined, but not smooth - you want to retain a bit of texture. If you don't have a food processor, combine with a fork, then scrunch with clean hands.
• On a flour-dusted surface, divide and shape the mixture into four equally sized patties (roughly 2cm thick). Pop onto a tray and place in the fridge for around 30 minutes to firm up.
• Heat a splash of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for around 10 minutes, or until golden and cooked through, turning halfway.
• Click off 4 nice lettuce leaves, then finely slice the tomatoes horizontally.
• Halve the burger buns, then squeeze a large dollop of ketchup onto the base of each one (toast them if you like), then top with the burgers.
• Layer over a couple of slices of tomato, a lettuce leaf, a few coriander leaves and finally the burger tops.
