Equipment needed: Blender/food processor, metal cutter, oven, baking paper and baking tray(s).
Preheat your oven to 180°C fan/200°C non fan/gas mark 6.
Put two thirds of the chickpeas in a food processor with the egg(s) and process well until smooth.
Add the remaining chickpeas, mustard, the spelt flour and a pinch of salt.
Process well and add the cooked baby spinach.
Make the burgers a minimum of 100/120g each. Use a metal cutter to shape them, then place them on a sheet of baking paper, drizzle with oil and cook in the oven for 6 minutes.
Take the burgers out the oven, flip them and cook for a further 5 minutes.
While the burgers are cooking, mash the avocado with a fork. Add the lemon juice, tomato concassé, parsley or chives and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Serve every burger with 75/80g of avocado, a few leaves of baby spinach and chopped roasted hazelnuts if you have them!
Add caramelized onions to the burger mixture at step 3 for extra flavour.
Serve on a sesame bun if you have available.
