Vegan Green Pea & Mint Burgers
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen peas (defrosted)
- 2 tbsp mint sauce
- 2 x 400g tins of chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 1 onion
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 garlic clove
- salt and pepper
- oil for frying
- For serving
- vegan garlic sauce
- tomato chutney
- rocket
- red onion
- tomato
- 5 burger buns
Preparation
Soak the frozen peas in hot water for 10 minutes
Add the peas, mint sauce, chickpeas, onion, sunflower seeds, garlic, salt and pepper to a food processor and pulse the mixture until it reaches a rough consistency. Avoid processing the mixture too much because it will be harder to shape into patties
Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl. Add the breadcrumbs and mix together until everything is fully combined, then shape the mixture into 5 evenly shaped patties. If the patties aren’t quite holding their shape, simply add more breadcrumbs until they reach a firm enough texture
Add a little oil to a frying pan. As soon as the oil is hot, add 2-3 patties to the pan at a time and fry for 5 minutes on each side, or until they become golden brown
Build each burger by spreading 2 tsp of garlic sauce on the bottom of a burger bun, then add a small handful of rocket, 1 patty, 2 tsp of tomato chutney, 2 slices tomato, 2 rings red onion and top with the remaining half of the bun
