Equipment
Ingredients
- Low fat cooking spray
- 2 medium onions finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves , crushed
- 2 tablespoon mild curry powder
- 250 g chestnut mushrooms finely chopped
- 1 lime , juice and finely grated zest
- Salt and pepper to season
- 1 x 410g can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 75 g wholemeal breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoon chopped coriander
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Wholemeal burger buns / rolls of your choice
Instructions
- Spray a large frying pan 5 times with the low fat cooking spray, sauté the onion and garlic until soft; adding drops of hot water should the mixture begin to stick.
- Add the curry powder and stir it in for 1 minute then add the mushrooms and lime juice and cook for about 5 minutes. Season to taste and set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl mash up the chickpeas with a potato masher until broken up but still slightly chunky.
- Mix the chickpeas together with the cooled mushroom mixture and add the lime zest, breadcrumbs and chopped coriander.
- Shape the mixture into 4 or 6 burgers (depending on your burger roll size) and place them onto a lightly floured plate, cover with cling film and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour. Longer is better (4 – 6 hours) as the flavours will marinate more.
- Once ready to cook, heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and cook burgers on each side until they are a golden colour.
Notes
These burgers, once cooked are perfect for freezing.
They're easily re-heated in the oven from frozen.
