Chickpea and Bean Veggie Burgers – Method

Pack 12 – 13  briquettes onto the coal grid inside your PotjieKing. Place a couple of firelighters in the bottom section and get that going. When you are ready to cook your burgers place your double-sided cast iron griddle/skottle plate on to the PotjieKing, skottle side up, to heat up. Pour a tbsp or so of oil on and spread it over the surface to make sure it’s covered.

• Mash the chickpeas and beans together.
• Add in the boiled potato and garlic and mash it up some more until you get a good consistency.
• Mix in the salt, pepper, lemon juice and paprika.
• Divide the mix into 8 and shape them into patties. Coat your hands in a little bit of oil to stop the mix from sticking to you.
• Coat with breadcrumbs on both sides.
• Fry on the cast iron skottle plate for about 10 minutes on each side.
• Be gentle when turning them and don’t press them down as you may break them apart.
• Once cooked just go ahead and build your burger just how you like it!

Note: Have fun experimenting with the different types of beans and veg combinations. You can use carrots, sweet potato or even pumpkin, Quinoa and lentils will also work really well.
