A great low-calorie recipe for vegetarians. A hearty chickpea burger stuffed into a pitta pocket. For a smoky flavour, try cooking these easy-to-make falafel on the BBQ then serve in warm pitta with traditional pickled chillies.

Ingredients

chickpeas 2 × 400g tins, drained
ground cumin 2 tsp
ground coriander 1 tsp
green chilli 2, chopped
garlic 2 cloves
spring onions ½ a bunch
coriander ½ a small bunch
salt flakes 1 tsp
plain flour 2 tbsp
halloumi 1 pack, diced
pitta to serve
houmous to serve
little gem lettuce to serve
pickled chillies to serve

Method

Step 1

Put the first 9 ingredients in a food processor and whizz until broken down. Tip into a bowl, mix in the halloumi, and form into 6 burgers. You can either cook these in a frying pan with a little olive oil until golden or BBQ for 2-3 minutes each side (just brush with oil beforehand to stop them sticking).
Step 2

Serve in grilled pittas with houmous, lettuce and pickled chillies.
