Method 1) Put the beetroot, carrot, onion, garlic, chickpeas and tamari in a food processor and blitz to a fine texture, stopping to scrape down the sides with a spatula once or twice. 2) Add the oats, egg, cumin, coriander, a good pinch of salt and a grind of black pepper. Blitz again to ensure everything is well blended. You should end up with a thick, coarse paste. Don’t worry if it seems slightly wet – it is much softer than a meaty burger mix. 3) Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add enough oil to cover the base in a thin film. 4) Use your hands or a large spoon to drop a quarter of the mix into the pan and pat it into a burger, about 10cm across and 2cm deep. Repeat with the remaining mix. 5) Gently fry the burgers for about 10 minutes, turning them carefully once or twice or until lightly charred on the outside and hot all the way through. You can either eat the burgers straight away, hot from the pan, or let them cool until warm or at room temperature, when they will have firmed up a little.
