Method
-
Step 1
In the base of a food processor, add chickpeas, garlic, ground cumin and coriander, flour, parsley, coriander, onions, salt, and pepper. Pulse until all ingredients are blended well and consistency is coarse. Transfer to cutting board and spread mixture out. Then knead in halloumi. Once halloumi is added to the mixture, shape into 4 flat patties. Use your thumb to make a 1cm indent in the centre of each patty (this will help the burgers keep their shape uniform during cooking). Cover and chill in the fridge for an hour.
