Cashew, feta & basil chickpea burgers

Ingredients

Place in the food processor/ blender

1 tin chickpeas, drained

3 cloves of garlic

A handful of basil

A handful of parsley, chopped

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 tablespoon paprika

100ml flour

1 slice whole wheat bread

1 egg

1 chilli chopped (optional)

Salt & pepper to taste

Grate 1 carrot & one zuchinni

Season with salt & pepper

Cube half a round of feta

To Serve

Lettuce, cucumber and tomato slices and placed in the pita

If you are feeling indulgent add a slice of pineapple and cheese on top of the burger.

Method:

1. Blend the mixture until combined, if the mix is too wet add a little more flour.

2. Saute the carrot & zucchini in a hot pan for 2 minutes with a little cooking oil, olive oil blend. Add to the blended mixture.

3. Stir the feta, sauteed carrot & zucchini & chopped cashews into the burger mix.

4. Divide the burger mix into four, spoon into a bowl of flour to stop the burger from sticking.

Shallow fry on a low heat for 3-5 minutes on each side.

Place inside the pita and serve!
