Mr Wilson plantation burger patties

Chef Paul Wilson’s vegan burger patty.
By chef Paul Wilson, this burger patty recipe is what vegan brunching dreams are made of. All you need is organic chickpeas, fresh herbs, spring onion, leftover roast veggies (such as sweet potato), tahini, garam masala, paprika and chickpea flour. Best of all the patties only take four mins or so per side to cook, so this is a great one where you can prepare the mixture the night before and quickly shallow-fry in the morning before serving.
