Chickpea burgers and smoked marlin pâté

Meat-free Mondays!- I wanted to make a really filling, tasty lunch whilst keeping it vegetarian, so I decided to try to make chickpea burgers.

CHICKPEA BURGERS

• 1 normal sized can of chickpeas, drained (about 200g drained chickpeas)
• Bunch of coriander
• 1 egg (or 1 tbsp of ground flax seed mixed into a gel with water)
• 1 dried chilli
• 4 tbsps of almond meal
• 1 teaspoon of curry powder
• Coconut oil, for frying

1. Blend everything together, taste and season with salt and pepper.
2. Heat up your frying pan with some coconut oil, using wet hands, form burgers out of the paste and fry.
3. Fry the burgers for a couple of minutes on each side until crispy.
4. Makes about 5 burgers. Serve with any chutney such as 'Chatini Pomme d'amour'.

SMOKED MARLIN PATE

My mum is trying out the low carb-high fat diet, so requested something tasty to be made with the tub of mascarpone she bought. So I made a quick and easy marlin mousse that can be used as a spread or as a dip for veggie sticks.

• About 200 g smoked marlin
• 125 g Mascarpone
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Lemon juice, salt and pepper to season

1. Just blend the smoked marlin and mascarpone together till nicely combined.
2. Slowly pour in the olive oil, season et voila!, you have a really tasty dip :)
