Hummus

- You can leave it a bit chunky if you prefer a more coarse texture.
- Store in the fridge until needed.
Onion Rings
- Whisk the reserved canned chickpea brine, soymilk, vinegar and corn flour together.
- Peel the onions and slice into thin rounds.
- Loosen the rounds from each other and soak it in the mixture for 15 minutes.
- Combine the cake flour and polenta in a separate mixing bowl.
- Add a bit of salt and pepper.
- Dip each onion ring into flour mixture, then into the chickpea brine-mixture and back into the flour mixture to coat it.
- Heat the oil for deep-frying to 180° C.
- Fry the onion rings for 2-3 minutes until golden and crisp.
Burgers
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Add the burgers and fry for 4 minutes on each side until browned.
To Serve
To assemble, spread hummus onto the bottom half of each burger bun. Add some gherkins, a good handful of micro herbs, the patty, a bit of Sriracha sauce and top it off with some onion rings and the top half of the burger bun.
TIP: Micro herbs are not essential for this burger but does add a layer of extra flavour and it looks beautiful. Replace it with your favourite lettuce, if you prefer.
