Carrot shallot feta burgers - a flavorful delight!
Ingredients:
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) olive oil
  • 3 shallots, trimmed, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 400g can chickpeas, rinsed, drained
  • 1 carrot, peeled, coarsely grated
  • 80g feta, crumbled
  • 1 egg
  • 70g (3/4 cup) dried (packaged) breadcrumbs
  • 1 Turkish bread loaf, quartered crossways, split
  • 200g ctn tzatziki
  • 25g baby spinach leaves
  • 1 vine-ripened tomato, thinly sliced
  • 2 Lebanese cucumbers, trimmed, peeled into ribbons
  • Fresh mint leaves, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a frying pan over medium heat, warm up 1 tablespoon of oil. Saute shallot and garlic for 2 minutes until softened. Next, transfer the mixture to a food processor. Combine chickpeas, carrot, feta, and egg in the processor until smooth. Move the mixture to a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and incorporate breadcrumbs. Divide the mixture into 4 parts and shape each into a 6mm-thick, 10cm-wide patty.
  • Heat the rest of the oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat and cook the patties for 4 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked.
  • Preheat the grill on high while you toast the bread for 2 minutes on each side until it is light golden brown.
  • Place a generous portion of the bread, cut-side up, on each serving plate. Spread a generous amount of tzatziki on top. Layer with spinach, tomato, chickpea patty, cucumber, and mint. Finish with a dollop of tzatziki and the remaining bread slices.
