Patience is a Virtue!

So here it is. The long awaited GREAT vegie burger.
Vegetable chickpea patties with pineapple salsa
2x300g cans chickpeas, drained and pureed
2 carrots, finely grated
2 celery sticks, finely chopped
6 spring onions, finely chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh coriander leaves
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup dry breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons oil
To make the patties combine the chickpea puree, carrot, celery, spring onion, cumin, coriander, parsley, egg and breadcrumbs in a bowl and season. Shape mixture into patties. Cook like a normal burger, approx 5mins either side.

Pineapple Salsa
225g can pineapple pieces in juice, drained, 1 tablespoon juice reserved
1 small tomato, finely diced
1/4 small red onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint
Finely chop half the pineapple, then place the pineapple, reserved juice, tomato, onion, lemon juice and mint in a bowl and mix together well. Season to taste with salt and cracked black pepper.
Serve on yummy fresh buns.
Told you it was worth the wait!

Nah, it's mostly leftovers from the weekend and we're out a lot of nights at other people's places. And there's always 100 hotdogs to get through!
