Chickpea and Flageolet Bean Burgers
Ingredients
- 1 x 410g can chickpeas, drained
- 1 x 400g can flageolet beans, drained
- 1/2 white onion, finely chopped
- 1 free-range egg
- 1/2 tsp each turmeric and paprika
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 25g breadcrumbs
- oil for frying (optional)
- 1 orange, peeled and segmented
- 1 red onion, finely sliced
- 1 tbsp chopped coriander
- 2 pitta breads
- mixed salad leaves
How To Cook
- Beat the egg with some freshly ground pepper, then add the drained chickpeas and flageolet beans, the white onion (chopped), turmeric, paprika, parsley and breadcrumbs.
- Mash it all together with a fork until the mixture has a similar texture to lumpy mashed potatoes.
- Take one tablespoon of mixture at a time and form into a ball. Press down to form a little patty and grill, or fry in a little oil, for around 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Mix together the orange segments, finely sliced red onion and chopped coriander to make the relish.
- Warm the pitta breads in the oven or a toaster, split open and stuff each with two of the chickpea and bean patties, plenty of relish and mixed salad. If you are taking as a packed lunch, wrap in cling-film or place in a close-fitting sandwich bag. Alternatively, add a blob of mayo, eat and enjoy!
