Broad bean, Feta and Green Onion Burgers.

By: Laurence Guy

These fresh and flavourful burgers are a real taste of summer and great for long warm evenings with a glass of crisp white wine
  • Remove the broad beans from their pods and place in a pan of boiling water and boil for 3 minutes. Do not add salt as this will toughen the skins of the beans.
  • Drain and plunge into cold water to stop them overcooking.
  • When cooled, roughly chop the broad beans before placing in a bowl with the finely chopped green onion.
  • Season with a dash of olive oil and pepper before crumbling in the feta.
  • Add the oats, gram (chickpea) flour beaten eggs and mix well. Stir in the chopped mint
  • Leave to stand in a fridge for half an hour before forming into patties.
  • Fry in some olive oil until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
