Green Burgers

Green Burgers

My green burgers take about 5 minutes to mix up and they are perfect hot out of the oven or cold as part of your lunch time salad. Hubby loves to eat them with a side of cinnamon roasted sweet potato, smashed avocado and a generous drizzle of lime - I throw them into my garden salad made with lots of leafy greens, avocado and a drizzle of parsley + mint salsa verde.

 

INGREDIENTS

Makes 10 burgers
100 g pistachio nuts
1 x 400 g tins chickpeas, (garbanzo beans) well drained (225 g drained weight) (see notes on edamame + broad beans)
100 g (1 cup) green peas fresh or frozen
2 bunches coriander, chopped (see notes)
50 g baby spinach leaves
4 spring onions, finely sliced
2 tablespoons tahini (sesame seed paste)

Grind the pistachio nuts coarsely for 10  seconds in your food processor.
Add the drained chickpeas,  green peas, coriander, spinach, spring onion and pulse again until combined.
