Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

250g chestnut mushroom , finely chopped

2 garlic cloves , crushed

1 bunch spring onions , sliced

1 tbsp medium curry powder

zest and juice ½ lemon

400g can chickpea , rinsed and drained

85g fresh wholemeal breadcrumb

6 tbsp 0% Greek yogurt

pinch ground cumin

2 mixed-grain muffins or rolls, toasted and halved

2 plum tomatoes , sliced

handful rocket leaves

Method

Heat 1 tsp oil in a non-stick frying pan and cook the mushroom, garlic and spring onion for 5 mins. Mix in the curry powder, lemon zest and juice and cook for 2 mins or until mixture looks quite dry. Tip out onto a plate to cool slightly.

Use a potato masher or fork to mash the chickpeas in a bowl, leaving a few chunky pieces. Add the mushroom mix and the crumbs, then shape into 4 patties. Fry in the remaining oil for 3-4 mins on each side until crisp and browned.

Mix the yogurt with the cumin. Place half a muffin on each plate, then spread with the yogurt. Top with the burgers, a few slices of tomato and a little rocket.
