3
Add the defrosted Quorn Mince, diced red onion, crushed garlic, smoked paprika, lemon juice, and 1.5 tbsp of the teriyaki sauce to the chickpeas and mix thoroughly.
4
Stir in the beaten egg and mix until the mixture just comes together, then add plain flour a little at a time until the mixture reaches a consistency firm enough to shape into patties.
5
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty approximately 1cm thick and slightly larger than the bun diameter.
6
Heat a non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly oil if needed, then carefully place the patties into the pan.
1 minutes
7
Cook the patties for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and firm on both sides.
10 minutes
8
Brush the cooked patties with the remaining 0.5 tbsp of teriyaki sauce during the last minute of cooking to create a glossy coating.
9
Toast the wholemeal buns lightly in the pan or under a grill until warmed through.
10
Assemble the burgers by spreading mayo on the toasted buns and layering the teriyaki chickpea patty with your chosen salad ingredients.

Add any additional condiments such as ketchup to taste and serve immediately while the patties are still warm.
