Vegan Burger Patties

Vegan burger patties

If you’re after a meat-free meal or trying to have more plant-based food in your diet, I found a delicious recipe for vegan burger patties that are easy to make and seriously YUM (yes, even for die-hard meat lovers!).

When creating these burgers, I made deconstructed burgers into a salad plate, but you can add your preferred ingredients and a wholegrain bun to create a healthy meat-free burger.

Ingredients: (serves 4)

• 1 x 400g tin of chickpeas

• 1 ½ cups of frozen corn (defrosted)

• ½ bunch of fresh coriander or parsley

• ½ tsp paprika

• ½ tsp ground coriander

• ½ tsp ground cumin

• 1 lemon - zest (optional)

• 3 heaped tbsp plain flour (or cornflour) (extra for dusting)

• 1-2 tbsp of oil for cooking

Optional - handful of fresh coriander or parsley

Add as desired:

• Lettuce

• Tomatoes

• Avocado

• Beetroot

• Carrot

• Gherkin

• Wholegrain burger buns

How to make:

1. Drain chickpeas and add to food processor with sweetcorn and fresh coriander or parsley. Add spices, lemon zest and season with salt and pepper. Pulse until combined but not entirely smooth.  Add up to 3 tbsp of flour to thicken the mixture if needed

2. Dust surface with flour and shape mixture into patties of desired size (around 1 cm thick). Leave in fridge for around 30 minutes for the patties to firm up

3. Heat oil in a fry pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for around 10 minutes, or until golden and cooked through

4. Create your burger, or your salad plate, with your favourite burger ingredients, and enjoy! I use a Kenwood Food Processor, because...it’s the best!
