Method
- Put all the ingredients except the breadcrumbs and flour into a food processor and whizz to a rough paste. Scrape into a mixing bowl, then stir in the breadcrumbs and 10g of the flour. Shape into 4 large patties and chill, covered, for 30 minutes.
- Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/ gas 6. Put the remaining flour onto a plate and dip each patty in it to coat. Heat a large glug of oil in a frying pan. When it shimmers, add the patties. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden, then put in a roasting tin and bake for 10 minutes.
- Serve the burgers in warmed pittas with rocket, mayonnaise or aïoli and a squeeze of lemon.
