Cooking Time : 30 Minute

Ingredients

• onion 1, chopped 
• cumin seeds 1 tsp
• spray olive oil
• raw beetroot 500g, peeled and grated
• chickpeas 400g tin, rinsed and drained well
• egg 1, beaten
• sesame seeds 2 tbsp
• feta 50g, crumbled
• dill, parsley or mint chopped to make 1 tbsp
• fat-free yogurt 100ml
• frilly lettuce to serve
• small burger buns to serve 
• finely sliced red onion to serve

Method

• STEP 1

  Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Fry the onion and cumin seeds in a spray of olive oil for 5 minutes, until soft. Tip into a blender with the beetroot, chickpeas, egg and half the sesame seeds. Blend until combined and season well. Shape into about 8 patties. Put onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. (The mix will be a little wetter than expected, but this is what you want.) Scatter over the remaining sesame seeds. Bake for 30-40 minutes until firm, and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Mash the feta with the herbs and yogurt to make a smooth-ish sauce and season.

• STEP 2

  Serve the burgers with the feta sauce and salad, or load into toasted burger buns with with red onion.
