Makes 20, 5 servings of 4 burgers.
Pre-heat oven to 220 C / 400 F

Number of Servings: 5

Ingredients

    14.5 oz chickpeas, drained and rinsed
    14.5 oz red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
    1 carrot, trimmed, peeled and finely grated
    1 small onion, peeled and finely grated
    1 oz sunflower seeds, unsalted
    2 tbsp tahini, drained of any excess oil before measuring
    1 garlic clove, peeled and chopped
    1 handful chopped fresh coriander
    1 tbsp wheat-free vegetable bouillon powder

Directions

Place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend for 5-10 seconds, until the mixture is fairly coarse (you can use a hand-held blender). Push the mixture down with a spatula and blend for a further 10 seconds.

Remove the blades from the processor, wet your hands under the cold water tap and shape the mixture into 20 small balls.

Line a large baking tray with greaseproof paper. Place the balls on the tray and flatten slightly with the back of the spoon.

Bake for 15-18 minutes until lightly coloured. Remove from the oven and allow to rest.

Serve with sweet potato wedges and a crunchy raw salad of sugar snap peas, radishes, grated carrot, sliced celery and fennel dressed with a squeeze of lemon juice.
