Directions
-
Step 1
Add the hemp seeds, chickpeas, chickpea flour, cumin seeds, garlic, onion, coriander powder salt and pepper to a bowl and with a masher, mash to a paste.
-
Step 2
Divide the mixture into 4, and using wet hands shape the mixture into 4 patties, place on a baking tray lined with baking paper and lightly oiled.
-
Step 3
Heat 40ml of vegetable oil in a large, nonstick frying pan, on medium-high heat. When the oil is hot gently place the hemp burgers in the pan and press lightly with a spatula. Cook on each side for 5 to 10 minutes, turn and repeat for an extra 5 minutes.
-
Step 4
Meanwhile, slice the tomato, the rest of the onion, and some lettuce leaves. Slice the buns in half and spread the insides of the rolls with oat butter. Remove the burgers from the pan and place the buttered buns down to toast for a minute while the burgers rest.
-
Step 5
Once toasted, layer the buns with some rose harissa, plant-based mayo, the hemp seed patty, onion, lettuce, tomato and of course, your bun tops!
