I’m crazy about chickpeas. I always tend to have an extra tin or two in my pantry. Friday night burgers doesn’t have to be boring, shake things up and make it interesting with a healthy twist. This recipe is inspired by one I spotted online by Food & Home Entertaining Magazine.

Steps

15 minutes

1

Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blitz until everything comes together in a smooth but almost chunky consistency. If the mixture is too wet add 1-2 tablespoons more of flour, or is it’s too dry add a little water to make it slightly sticky. The texture should look like this 👉🏽
2

With clean, floured hands, take a large amount the size of a golf ball and roll into your hands to create a round patty disk shape.
3

On a medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and fry the patties for 3 minutes on each side until golden and crisp. Remove and place on a paper towel lines plate.
4

Serve warm on a bed of lettuce or in a gluten free pita or wrap with some roasted veggies on the side. Enjoy! 😋
