Method
step 1
Cook the freekeh in boiling water for 20 minutes until soft. Drain and rinse. Toss with the grated carrot, onion, paprika, egg and season.
step 2
In a small blender, whizz the beans to a paste and add these to the mix. Add in 1 tbsp flour if needed to combine, and shape into 8 burgers. You can freeze any extra burgers for another time.
step 3
Fry the burgers in 1 tbsp oil for 4 minutes on each side until golden and crunchy. If you like, add into burger buns with some lettuce, tomato and a dollop of hummus. You could also make the burgers half the size when shaping, fry, then load into Little Gem lettuce leaves with hummus and finely diced tomato and onion.
