Equipment needed: Blender/food processor, metal cutter, oven, baking paper and baking tray(s).

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C fan/200°C non fan/gas mark 6.

  2. Put two thirds of the chickpeas in a food processor with the egg(s) and process well until smooth.

  3. Add the remaining chickpeas, mustard, the spelt flour and a pinch of salt.

  4. Process well and add the cooked baby spinach.

  5. Make the burgers a minimum of 100/120g each. Use a metal cutter to shape them, then place them on a sheet of baking paper, drizzle with oil and cook in the oven for 6 minutes.

  6. Take the burgers out the oven, flip them and cook for a further 5 minutes.

  7. While the burgers are cooking, mash the avocado with a fork. Add the lemon juice, tomato concassé, parsley or chives and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  8. Serve every burger with 75/80g of avocado, a few leaves of baby spinach and chopped roasted hazelnuts if you have them!

Top Tips:

Add caramelized onions to the burger mixture at step 3 for extra flavour.

Serve on a sesame bun if you have available.
