Step by step
Get ahead
Make up to the end of step 1 up to a day ahead, cover and chill or freeze.
- Place the spring onions, lemon zest and drained chickpeas in a food processor and blitz until you have a coarse-textured mixture that resembles breadcrumbs. Add the fresh breadcrumbs, harissa, grated carrot, egg, coriander leaves and a pinch of salt. Blitz again until you have a fairly smooth mixture. Shape the mixture into 6 burgers and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours or until ready to barbecue.
- Brush each of the burgers with a little olive oil and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden. Serve with warmed pittas, yogurt and extra harissa.
