Method

  1. In a food processor, whizz the chickpeas, lemon zest, lemon juice, cumin, half the coriander, the egg and some seasoning. Scrape into a bowl and mix with 80g of the breadcrumbs and the diced onions. Form 4 burgers, press remaining breadcrumbs onto both sides and chill for at least 10 mins.
  2. Heat the oil in a frying pan until hot. Fry the burgers for 4 mins each side, keeping the heat on medium so they don't burn. To serve, slice each bun and fill with a slice of tomato, a burger, a few red onion slices, some cucumber slices, a dollop of chilli sauce and the remaining coriander.

    I added tzatziki to the buns and this was tasty, fun and easy to make. However, I don't think frying the burgers in 1 tablespoon olive oil really works that well. It took much longer than 4 mins on each side for them to get crispy, I kept having to add more oil and the sides still remained soft and soggy. Frying them falafel style might work better, or some kind of oven baking/grilling combo might do the trick. Will probably make again and experiment as the final result was really quite tasty. Sweet chilli compliments this well, oddly enough.

    Added a red chilli, covered in breadcrumbs and sesame seeds. V tasty and quick, but found it wet, so will mix without egg next time, and see if that makes it firmer.

    Must have been my mistake - but the burgers got completely destroyed in the pan. So I basically found myself with a pan of crumbs :( Served the few presentable bits with pan fried cherry tomatoes and a fresh mint, yoghurt and mayonnaise dressing. Although the taste wasn't bad at all, I'm SO not making this recipe again...unless someone is revealing me the trick to make these burgers stay together!

    These were lovely- and normally i am no fan of the chickpea!! I blended everything together in one and it worked fine. Added a chilli for heat. Smaller burgers worked better than larger ones that seemed to fall apart. Served in wraps with natural yogurt and sweet chilli.

    Made these last night and cooked them on the gas BBQ. Very tasty and held together excellently, which is rare for veggie burgers. Might try next time with a smidgen of grated cheddar in the mix...

    Yes, they do remind me of falafels but they are such a healthy and delicious alternative to burgers/frozen veggie burgers! I love them and in order to stay free off cholesterol I only used egg whites. Works just as well.

    Had them without the buns and they were fine but improved the following day when the lemon was more detectable.

    I love theses, they are so easy and so tasty. I used a lime instead of a lemon and it worked well with the extra zing in it. have also done them with lemon and equally as good.

    I added a small amount of crumbled feta, pan fried them to get them crispy and then put them in the oven for 15 mins. I also made my own breadcrumbs using wholemeal seeded bread. They were delicious!!! In the future I would consider adding some chopped toasted nuts for a bit of crunch.

    Really tasty and easy to make. I stuck to the recipe and fried the burges, they turned out nice and moist. Ate them with Wäsa cracker bread.

    Even the teenage carnivore eaters loved this recipe. I added grated carrot to bulk it out a bit. Served with homemade oven chips. Cheap and delicious!

    I added two cloves of garlic, some chilli flakes and quite a lot of cracked black pepper as I like food well seasoned. I served this with sweet chilli sauce as suggested but also made up a mint yoghurt sauce, simply by mixing 4 tsp of plain natural yogurt with one tsp of mint sauce, a drop of lemon juice and salt and pepper. This really balanced the chilli and red onion and was cool and refreshing. Fantastic!
