Scale
Burgers:
- 1 can chickpeas, rinsed
- 1/4 cup (50g) kalamata olives
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained well
- 1/2 onion, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon each paprika, ground cumin, oregano

- 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon tahini

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F/ 160C (fan-forced)
- Blend the cauliflower in food processor until fine like “rice”.
- Add the chickpeas, sun-dried tomatoes (if using), olives, onion, almond meal, seasonings and lemon juice. Blend until just combined. Do not blend for too long to avoid a mushy consistency. Around 30 seconds should be sufficient.Add a few extra tablespoons of almond meal if too "wet".
- Form the mixture into 6 patties, place on the baking sheet and lightly spray the tops with cooking spray.
- Bake for 20 minutes, flip, and bake for another 15-20 minutes until golden. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
- To make the slaw combine the cabbage, onion, capsicum (bell pepper), garlic, salt, pepper, tahini, lemon juice and yoghurt in a bowl and mix well.
- Serve burgers with buns, slaw and toppings of choice.
