1-2 Tbsp 'flavouring' (you can choose what to add, Herbs ect.. I used dukkah)
½ onion
1 Clove garlic
1 egg
A pinch of salt & pepper
½ cup breadcrumbs or to make it gluten free I used some oats blitzed into flour
1 Carrot -grated
GF flour for rolling in
A pinch of salt & pepper
Instructions
Place onion, 'flavouring" and the chickpeas (which you’ve rinsed and drained) and process for 10 -15 seconds on speed 4.
Add in egg and breadcrumbs/oats and process 10 seconds on speed 4. Scrape down sides.
Tip into a large bowl & add grated carrot, salt & pepper
Your mixture will be soft but if it’s runny then add in some oats or more breadcrumbs. You don’t want a really stiff mixture but firm enough to fry later on. Refrigerate at least ½ hour.
Tip some flour onto a plate and take a good handful of the mixture and form into a small burger shape, coating it all in the flour. Be generous with the flour
Now place the burgers on a plate and refrigerate again for at least 30 minutes.
Heat up a few tablespoons of oil in a frypan and once hot fry your burgers for a few minutes on each side. If they start to burn just turn down the heat.
Serve with some pitta bread and salad. Or dip into home made ketchup!
