Ingredients
- 1 x 19 oz (540 ml) can chickpeas, drained and patted dry
- ¼ cup (60 ml) chickpea flour
- ½ cup (125 ml) chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ cup (60 ml) chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 106 g (1 can) Millionaires Wild Brisling Sardines in Olive Oil, drained
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) ground cumin
- 1 tsp (5 ml) ground coriander
- 1 tsp (5 ml) lemon juice
- 1 tsp (5 ml) baking powder
- A pinch of cayenne pepper
- 1 cup (250 ml) panko, plus more as needed
- 6 Hamburger buns, to serve
- Lettuce, tomato, cucumber and pickles, to serve
- Tzatziki sauce or Greek yoghurt, to serve
Directions
- In a food processor add drained chickpeas and chickpea flour and pulse until crumbly. Add parsley, cilantro, green onions, garlic and eggs and blend until smooth.
- In a mixing bowl add sardines and, using 2 forks, break into small flakes. Add eggs, cumin, coriander, lemon juice, baking powder and cayenne and mix well. Add chickpea mixture and mix again. Fold in panko, a little at a time, until the mixture holds its shape and no longer sticks to your hands.
- Divide mixture into 6 even balls and form into 3-in (7.5 cm) patties.
- To cook, heat a frying pan over medium heat and warm a splash of oil. Fry patties until browned and crisp and hot in the centre, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Serve on a bun topped with tzatziki, tomato, lettuce, cucumber and sliced pickles.
