Swap traditional burgers for vegie patties spiced with wasabi yoghurt.

400g can chickpeas, rinsed, drained
400g can cannellini beans, rinsed, drained
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 carrot, finely grated
1/3 cup (50g) black sesame seeds
1/3 cup (50g) crushed roasted peanuts
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped mint leaves
1 cup (70g) fresh sourdough breadcrumbs
Rice bran oil, to shallow-fry
6 wholemeal burger buns, toasted
Butter lettuce leaves, sliced tomato and tasty cheese slices, to serve

Wasabi yoghurt

1 cup (280g) thick Greek-style yoghurt
1/2 teaspoon wasabi paste, plus extra to taste
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Method

1.

Mash chickpeas and beans in a bowl using a fork. Stir in juice, cumin and soy, then add onion, garlic, carrot, sesame seeds, peanuts, herbs and breadcrumbs. Season and combine well, then shape mixture into 6 patties. Transfer to a lined baking tray, cover and chill for 30 minutes to firm up.
2.

Meanwhile, for wasabi yoghurt, combine yoghurt, wasabi and lemon juice in a bowl. Taste and add more wasabi if desired. Season and set aside.
3.

Heat 2cm oil in a large frypan over medium heat. In 2 batches, cook patties for 2-3 minutes each side until golden and warmed through. Drain on paper towel.
4.

To serve, fill the burger buns with lettuce, patties, tomato and cheese, and drizzle with wasabi yoghurt.
