Ingredients:
• 400g can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
• 1 small red onion, roughly chopped
• 1 garlic clove, chopped
• Handful of flat-leaf parsley or curly parsley
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• ½ tsp harissa paste or chilli powder
• 2 tbsp plain flour
• 2 tbsp sunflower oil
• Toasted pitta bread, to serve
• 200g tub tomato salsa, to serve
• Green salad, to serve
Instructions:
1. Drain and pat the chickpeas dry using kitchen paper.
2. Add chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, harissa, flour, and a pinch of salt to a food processor. Blend until fairly smooth.
3. Shape the mixture into 4 patties with your hands.
4. Heat the sunflower oil in a non-stick frying pan and cook the burgers for about 3 minutes on each side, until golden and crisp.
5. Serve inside toasted pitta with tomato salsa and a fresh green salad.
Healthy Swaps & Tips:
• Swap pitta for wholemeal wraps or lettuce cups for fewer carbs.
• Add grated carrot or beetroot to the burger mix for extra veg.
• Use low-fat or homemade salsa to reduce sugar.
Storage & Meal Prep:
• Uncooked patties can be stored in the fridge for 2 days or frozen for 1 month.
• Cooked patties keep in the fridge for up to 3 days—reheat in a pan or oven.
• Great for batch cooking—double up and freeze extras!
Ideal For:
• Vegans and vegetarians
• Anyone looking for a healthy, filling plant-based meal
• Perfect for quick lunches or a meat-free dinner option
