Step 1
Put the diced onion, garlic, chickpeas, gram flour, sun dried tomatoes, oil and a large pinch of salt into a high-powered blender or processor and whiz to form a thick, chunky mixture.Step 2
Remove 2 tbsp mixture and shape into a patty, set on a plate and repeat with the remaining mixture. Do this up to a day ahead, just cover and chill.Step 3
Set a large pan over a medium-high heat and heat the oil. Add the burgers and cook for 5 mins on each side, until hot through and lightly charred. Keep warm in a medium oven if you need to cook in batches.Step 4
Serve the burgers with lettuce, sliced onion, plenty of sauce and sandwiched in a bun.Step 5
Cooks tip: To roast garlic, wrap a whole head of garlic drizzled with olive oil in foil and roast at 180°C/ 160°C fan/ gas 4 for 1 hr. This uses 100g sun-dried tomatoes but if you love the flavour, add a few extra to the mix in step 1.
