Meatless Monday : Spicy lentil and chickpea burgers


The weather might not be up to much - it's drizzling here in Yorkshire - but who cares when there are these spicy lentil and chickpea burgers to enjoy.  

Spicy lentil and chickpea burgers 

Makes 10

You will need

1 onion, peeled and chopped
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 can chickpeas, drained well
1 can brown lentils, drained well
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp chilli flakes
2 chia seed eggs (use 1-2 tbsp chia seeds with 3 tbsp hot water and leave for 10 minutes)
80g rice flour
Olive oil spray

Pop all the ingredients in a high speed blender.  Spray a baking tray with olive oil spray. Divide the chickpea and lentil mixture into 10 and shape into burgers on the baking tray. Spray with the olive oil spray once more and place in an oven at 180 degrees for around 20 minutes until firm.  Serve on burger buns or lettuce leaves.


Enjoy!
