curried chickpea burger
I’ve never really gone for vegetarian-style burgers, and yet one evening I had a curious craving for a chickpea burger. With a rummage in the cupboards I pepped them up with some curry flavour and enjoyed a substantial and tasty meal which left all thoughts of minced beef behind.
Curried chickpea burgers (makes 4):
1 can chickpeas, drained
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1 tablespoon breadcrumbs
1 roasted red onion*
1 heaped teaspoon curry paste (I used Patak’s balti paste)
- Whiz all the ingredients together in a food processor and season to taste. With wet hands mold into 4 patties.
- Heat a little oil in a frying pan and cook for 4 – 5 mins on both sides until well browned. Serve in a soft white bap with sweetcorn on the side.
*I had a red onion leftover from this recipe, if you don’t have one then pop one in the oven for 30 mins or fry briefly.
Yummy, they are some of my favourite ingredients, especially peanut butter! The burgers look delicious. Thanks for sharing.
This is a dead-easy recipe with all your faves in, so give it a go!
Innovative recipe… makes me think though. How about balls of that mix skewered with some sweet peppers and grilled?
Now that’s how you evolve a recipe. I love this idea. Served with a pitta and perhaps a sweet chilli sauce that could be a real winner.
