SERVES 4
1. Heat the sunflower oil into a frying pan over a medium heat. The oil is hot enough, it will move to the edge of the pan creating a hole in the middle. Be careful with hot oil!
2. Add the red onion and spring onion. Listen for the sizzle! Stir every now and again until nice and soft.
3. When the onions are soft, add garlic, jerk marinade and all-purpose seasoning. Give it a good stir until everything is coated. Spoon the mixture into a large bowl and set aside to cool.
4. In a separate bowl, squash the chickpeas with the back of a fork until you have a crumbly texture.
5. Peel the cooled sweet potato and peel off the skin. Add this to the onions. Squash and mix until all combined.
6. Next add the mashed chickpeas with salt and pepper. Mix all together until it is even.
7. Dip your hands into flour to stop them getting too sticky and roll in to 4 burgers.
8. Tip the breadcrumbs into a plate. Roll each burger in breadcrumbs until completely covered. Pop into the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up.
9. Pour some oil into the bottom of the frying pan over a medium heat. When hot, fry the burgers for a few minutes on each side until golden and crisp.
10. Serve on burger buns with any toppings you fancy.
10. Enjoy :)
