Pack your burger with flavour and Supergreens! These giant green patties are bursting with basil, garlic and finished off by the sink-your-teeth-in mashed chickpea texture.
Ingredients
  • 2 (400g) tins of chickpeas, drained
  • ¼ cup gram flour
  • ¼ cup walnuts
  • 1½ packed cups of spinach
  • ¾ cup basil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup garden peas
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
To serve
  • 5 Burger buns (GF if needed)
  • Sundried Tomato Ketchup
  • Handful of bean sprouts
  • Cucumber, thinley slices
Instructions
  1. Pre heat your oven to 190C/375F/Gas Mark 5 and line a baking sheet
  2. Firstly, blitz your walnuts in a high speed blender or food processor until a fine grain.
  3. Add the rest of the ingredients (except the peas) and pulse until it comes into a chunky paste. You will have to scrape down the sides a few times.
  4. Add the peas and mix in without mashing them too much.
  5. Use ⅓ cup to scoop out the mixture and form patties. You want them about 1" thick.
  6. Place in the oven for 20 minutes, then flip and return to the oven for another 15-20 mins. They should have formed a crusty exterior and not be too squishy in the middle.
  7. Slice your buns and toast. Sandwich the patty and add optional toppings!
