CARROT & CHICKPEA BURGERS

Here is a recipe from World Wide Fund For Nature; WWF. These carrot & chickpea burgers have a sweet and yummy twist - they are veg-filled and really delicious. The real joy of this recipe comes from getting your hands dirty and shaping the patties.

Ingredients

3 medium carrots, grated

1x 400g tin of chickpeas, drained

1 medium egg

Salt & pepper, to taste

2 tbsp dried mixed herbs

100g breadcrumbs or porridge oats

Your choice of extras to serve: burger buns, sliced tomatoes, sliced avocados, lettuce, mayonnaise or hummus or pesto, pickles, sliced cheese, or your own favourites

Method

Mix carrots, chickpeas, egg, salt & pepper, dried mixed herbs and breadcrumbs or oats in a food processor to form a smooth, thick paste.

Form into 8 patties and fry in a drizzle of olive oil in a pan set over medium heat until cooked through and golden (about 3-4 mins on each side).

Serve with your choice of bun, fillings and extras.

To make it extra, choose a selection of favourite burger fillings and lay them out in bowls and plates on the table to make it a “build-your-own” burger dinner. People are more likely to eat the veg they choose to put in themselves!
