1. Start by preheating the oven to 180 degrees celcius / 350 degrees fahrenheit and begin making chick patties by adding 1 can of chickpeas (drained), ½ cup water and 1 tbsp chicken salt into a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until chickpeas are broken down into a paste. Spoon mixture into a bowl.

2. Add 1 cup chickpea flour and ½ cup all-purpose flour to the chickpea blend and mix together. Use your hands to knead the dough together until it forms a ball. Separate into 4 portions, and flatten them until they form a chicken patty shape.

3. Bring a large saucepan of water to boil, and gently drop patties in and cook for 3-4 minutes.

4. Mix together 1 cup all purpose flour and ½ cup water to create a paste. Remove the patties from the water, using tongs, and drop into the bowl of flour paste, covering each side. Then, transfer patties to a plate with 1 cup of breadcrumbs and coat evenly on all sides. Place crumbed patties on a baking tray and cook for 30 minutes.

5. While the patties are cooking, prepare the sweet onion relish and spicy slaw. Cut 1 brown onion into slices and add to a frypan with 1 tbsp of olive oil, cook on a medium heat for 3 minutes. Add ¼ cup maple syrup, stir through and lower heat again.
Continue stirring the onions occasionally for 10 minutes until they are caramelized and thick. Then remove from heat.

6. Slice ¼ of a red cabbage and ¼ of a white cabbage, into thin strips. Grate 1 carrot. In a mixing bowl combine the cabbage and carrot with 1 cup of sriracha mayonnaise. Set aside.

7. Once the chick patties are cooked, begin putting the burgers together! Cut open a brioche bun, add 1 tbsp of sweet onion relish to the bottom bun, lay down 1 lettuce leaf, add the chick patty on top, place 1 slice of vegan cheese on top and finish with 2 tbsp of spicy slaw! Repeat for all burgers and serve.

Protein Fibre-Fuelled

The key ingredient to these burgers are the chickpeas, which host several nutritional benefits including a hit of protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals. Their fibre content helps move food through our digestive system and facilitates a healthy gut environment, balancing bacteria and pH levels. Research shows this decreases the risk of IBS, heart disease, kidney stones and cancer. Then they continue to serve us with high levels of folate, iron, phosphorus and B vitamins. Folate supports cell production and helps the body process the B vitamins and protein, so they can effectively move through the body doing their jobs. Their high-protein content means your muscles are able to recover more efficiently and build themselves stronger for your next session! We love a burger with benefits!
