Carrot and sesame burgers

Here continues my burger journey....

I managed to find tahini in the supermarket again (it's been out of stock for ages) and so celebrated with a good old veggie burger. I strayed away from my standard sweet potato burger and went for a carrot based one- it was gooood :) make sure you add enough seasoning though and don't make it too thick.

Ingredients:

300g grated carrots

Half a can of chickpeas

1 small onion

1 tbsp tahini paste

1 tsp cumin

1 egg

Olive oil

50g breadcrumbs

Zest of one lemon

75ml natural yoghurt

2 ciabatta rolls

2 tbsp sesame seeds

Juice of one lemon

Salad

Recipe:

1. Place a third of the carrot in a blender with the chickpeas, onion, tahini, cumin and egg and blend into a thick paste

2. Heat oil in a pan and fry the remaining carrot until golden and cooked 

3. Mix the carrot and paste in a bowl and add in the breadcrumbs, lemon zest, sesame seeds and season as you wish

4. Mould the mixture into burger shapes and fry for 5 mins on each side until golden brown

5. Mix the yoghurt with 1 tsp of tahini and lemon juice

6. Spread the yoghurt on the buns and add the burger, then place salad lettuce on top with a drizzle of chilli sauce
