There's something about burger condiments that I get really excited about so when I saw the words Harissa Mayo on this week's recipe my face lit up 🤩. This is a real crowd pleaser and one that will make every member of the family happy. If you get creative with your burger toppings please let me know! 

Serves 6

Ingredients 

1 x Fiid Hearty Moroccan Chickpea Tagine
1 x can Butter Beans
2 x cups cooked Quinoa
2 x cups Bread Crumbs
1 x Tablespoons Harissa paste
1 x Tablespoons Tomato puree 
2 x Teaspoon Cumin powder
2 x Teaspoon Turmeric
2 x Garlic cloves
1 x Teaspoon Chilli flakes
Salt & Pepper
1 x Handful fresh coriander, chopped

For the Burger Toppings 

2 x Red Onions
1 x Tablespoon Olive Oil
Lettuce 
Burger Buns

For the Harissa Mayo

4 Tablespoon Vegan Mayo of your choice 
1 Tablespoon Harissa paste

Method 

1. To make your burger, pop the contents of one  Fiid Hearty Moroccan Chickpea Tagine into the food processor along with 1 can of drained and rinsed Butter Beans, cooked Quinoa, Tomato Puree, Harissa paste, Turmeric, Garlic, Cumin powder, Salt and Pepper
2. Pulse the food processor until combined
3. Transfer to a bowl and add the chopped coriander and breadcrumbs. Mix together until everything is incorporated
4. To form into even patties, wet your hands and mould into burger shapes. The mixture is wet and forming them into burger patties can get a little messy so roll up your sleeves! You can make 6 large burgers or 8 smaller ones.
5. Place onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper and pop into the freezer for a least 20 minutes. They freeze really well and are best cooked from frozen so they do not lose their shape.
6. When ready remove the burgers from the freezer and heat some oil in a shallow frying pan. Once the pan is nice and hot add the burgers and brown evenly on both sides quickly. Pop onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper and into a preheated oven at 180C for 20min to cook through.
7. While your burgers are cooking you can prepare the toppings.
8. Slice your red onion thickly and place some oil on a frying pan, heat and add your onions, fry until golden brown on each side.
9. To make your harissa mayo, using a mayonnaise of your preference combine together with the harissa paste and season with Salt and Pepper to taste.
10. If you like your buns nice and toasty you can pop them in the oven for the last five minutes of the cooking time to crisp up slightly.
11. Once everything is ready assemble your burgers, serve and enjoy!
