Easy vegan burger ingredients

• 2 tsp olive oil – switch this for rapeseed oil if you prefer.

• 1 clove of garlic – finely chopped or grated

• 1 onion – diced

• 1 red pepper – finely diced

• 30g pine nuts

• 20g rolled oats

• 400g tin chickpeas

• 1 tsp harissa paste – you could swap this for chipotle paste if you prefer

• 1/2 tsp cumin

• pinch of sea salt

How to make easy vegan burgers

• Add a splash of olive oil to a frying pan – gently fry the garlic, onion and pepper until soft, then leave to one side to cool completely.

• In a food processor blitz the pine nuts and oats until they’re smooth.

• Tip in the chickpeas and pulse so you get a chunky textured paste.

• Tip the chickpea, nut and oat mixture into a mixing bowl with the cold onions and peppers.

• Add the harissa paste and cumin and a pinch of salt and mix everything together with a wooden spoon.

• Divide the mixture into four and form into burger patties – using a little dusting of flour on your hands will help here.

• Leave the burgers in the fridge to firm up for an hour or two before cooking.

• To cook just fry in a little olive oil for around 4 minutes each side until browned.
