Step 1

Peel the onion and garlic. Chop the onion and carrot into chunks for your food processor.

Step 2

Whizz up the oats for 10-15 seconds in the food processor. This makes them into flour which helps bind the chickpea patties.

Step 3

Put all the other ingredients into the food processor and whizz up until blended but not too fine.

Step 4

Taste for seasoning and add salt/pepper/more harissa as desired.

Step 5

Lay out a sheet of parchment/baking paper on a tray

Step 6

Use a large icecream scooper, or two spoons to scoop out even amounts of chickpea patty mixture. (I find this makes 6 burgers using my large icecream scoop. You can make smaller ones if you like)

Step 7

Get another sheet of baking paper and lay it over the top of the patty balls. Press down with your hands or a spatula. This forms nice even round patties.

Step 8

For the best results, pop the patties into the fridge to firm up for half an hour.

Step 9

Pan Fry, Oven Bake, Air Fry or Grill the patties as desired. (see note below for details).

Step 10

Serve the patties on a burger bun with trimmings, or use as a filling for a sandwich or just straight up with some fries and salad.
