Let's Get Cooking!
What You'll Need for the Sliders:
- Cooked chickpeas (those are our protein superstars!)
- One large, beautiful beetroot
- A bit of onion and garlic for flavor
- Spices, because everything's better with a good spice rack
- A dash of sriracha (or chilli flakes, if you're feeling spicy)
- Tahini and flax eggs for binding
- Fresh parsley for a bit of freshness
- A little oil for frying
- Flour for dusting
- And some lovely brioche buns to hold all that goodness!
And for those Crispy Oven Chips:
- Four large potatoes (choose your favorite)
- Olive oil
- Sea salt and a pinch of paprika for flavor
Let's Put it All Together:
- Prep Time: Make your flax eggs and get them chilling.
- Mix it Up: Combine your slider ingredients, form patties, and chill them.
- Chip Time: Chop your potatoes, coat them in oil and spices, and get them baking.
- Cook the Sliders: Gently fry your patties in a pan or bake them.
- Assemble and Enjoy: Layer lettuce, avocado cream, cucumber slices, ketchup, and your beautiful beetroot patty onto a brioche bun, with a side of those crispy chips.
A Few Notes:
- If using dry chickpeas, soak them overnight and cook them until tender.
- If your mixture is too wet, add a bit of flour. If it’s too dry, a splash of water will do.
