My kids surprised me last week when I asked them if they preferred beef burgers or Mums homemade veggie burgers, and they said veggie burgers. I wasn't as surprised by Hanna as she loves salads and vegetables but teenage Sam does like his meat and I really thought that he would prefer beef burgers. I must say that it did please me, not only because veggie burgers are healthier but they are also cheaper - these cost under £1 for 8 burgers.
Minted Two Pea Burgers - makes 8
400g Chickpeas
200g Frozen peas, steamed & drained
1 tsp dried rosemary
2 tbsp Mint sauce
Olive oil for frying
- Place the peas & chickpeas into a bowl & mash with a potato masher
- Stir in the rosemary and mint sauce & mix well
- Divide the mixture into eight and form into patties & set aside
- Heat a little oil in a frying pan and fry the burgers for a few minutes on each side
Serve on a toasted English muffin/bread roll with lettuce and yoghurt, cucumber & mint dip
Helen these are so my kind if thing, not just because they are veggie (vegan aren't they?) but I love the green, I expect they'd be moist with those chickpeas, nutty...really lovely idea xx
