Ingredients

  • 400g canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 400g canned lentils, drained and rinsed
  • 100g gruyere, grated
  • 100g feta, crumbled
  • 100g breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 Cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon tahini paste
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin, ground
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • ½ tsp sea salt, to season
  • 1 pinch black pepper, to season
  • 1 dusting plain flour

Method

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan, add the chopped onion and cook over a medium heat until tender but not coloured. Add the garlic, ground cumin and cayenne and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove from the heat.

Step 2

Tip the lentils and chickpeas into the bowl of a food-processor and blend until coarsely chopped. Add the onion mixture, tahini paste and parsley, and blend again until combined and nearly smooth. Tip into a large bowl and add the beaten egg, breadcrumbs and both of the cheeses. Mix together using your hands and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 3

Shape the mixture into patties and lightly dust in plain flour. Heat the remaining olive oil in a large frying pan, slide the burgers into the pan and cook until golden on both sides.

Step 4

Serve in toasted buns with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and avocados and a dollop of soured cream, ketchup or mayonnaise and pickles of your choice
