Method

JO
  1. Drain the chickpeas and sweetcorn, then tip into a food processor with half the coriander leaves and all the stalks.
  2. Add the spices, flour and a pinch of sea salt, finely grate in the lemon zest, then pulse until combined, but not smooth – you want to retain a bit of texture.
  3. On a flour-dusted surface, divide and shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, roughly 2cm thick. Firm up in the fridge for 30 mins.
  4. Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add a splash of oil, followed by the patties and cook for 10 mins, or until golden and cooked through, turning halfway.
  5. Meanwhile, click off, wash and spin-dry 4 nice lettuce leaves, then finely slice the tomatoes.
  6. Squeeze a large dollop of ketchup onto the base of each roll (toast them first, if you like), then top with the burgers. Layer over a couple of slices of tomato, a lettuce leaf, a few coriander leaves and finally the tops of the rolls. Delicious served with sweet potato wedges.

Jamie's tip: "Up the veg with a load of fresh salad – I favour a tried-and-tested combo of lettuce and tomato for both colour and texture. Throw in coriander leaves and a sliced gherkin too, if you like."
