INGREDIENTS
6 servings
580g of canned chickpeas (drained)
1 cup of oats
1x small red onion
1x large clove of garlic (roughly chopped)
80g of olives (roughly chopped)
1x tsp of chilli paste
2x tsp of fennel seeds (roughly crushed)
large pinch of salt & pepper
6x large leaves of fresh mint (roughly torn)
1x lemon (juice only)
1x tbsp of olive oil
METHOD
Start by putting all the ingredients into a food processor, besides the oats, olives and fresh mint.
Blitz until everything has been well mixed, but NOT formed a paste. You don't want the mixture to become a paste, you still want a slight bit of texture, but also not too chunky (if the mixture becomes too wet, the burgers will have less chance of holding their shape whilst cooking).
Transfer to a large mixing bowl and add the oats, fresh mint and olives and combine the ingredients together well.
Divide the mixture into six equal burgers.
Drizzle the olive oil into your non-stick frying pan and preheat on a high heat before adding your burgers.
Cook for 4 - 5 minutes on each side or until golden and slightly crispy on the outside.
Serve as desired and enjoy!
