It doesn't have to be expensive or time-consuming! This recipe, a chickpea coriander burger - can be prepped and cooked in less than 45 minutes! So get out your apron and start cooking this mouth-watering meal. I know I'll be!

Chickpea and coriander burger.

Ingredients:
400g can chickpeas, drained
zest 1 lemon, plus juice ½
1 tsp ground cumin
small bunch coriander, chopped
1 egg
100g fresh breadcrumbs
1 medium red onion, ½ diced, ½ sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
4 small wholemeal buns
1 large tomato, sliced, ½ cucumber, sliced and chilli sauce, to serve

Instructions:
1. 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

2. 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.


Have an awesome day and keep smiling!

Love & Peace!
