First things first. Steam your sweet potato and once softened place in a mixing bowl with your tin of chickpeas (drained and rinsed of course!). Next, get mashing. You still want it to be quite chunky however so don't make it super smooth!! Then add your sesame seeds, spices and chilli and mix it all up. Don't be put off by the fact the mixture is still kind of like mashed potato consistency (as essentially it is). Add in your salt and pepper to taste. Play around with the spices - your taste buds may like more or less of one or the other so it's all about tasting as you go!



When you're ready, grab handfuls of the mixture and pat it into a ball. Roll gently in either polenta or maize flour and place in a fry pan with a dash of oil.

You have to be kind of careful when flipping these babies - don't be alarm if they squish a bit! The mixture will make around 8 patties - so you can either make yourselves two burgers each (just double the mushrooms needed), or what I like to do is just have an extra patty on the side of my burger.



Whilst you're cooking your patties, in another fry pan, fry up your mushrooms again, in a bit of oil until cooked. If you don't have two fry pans - try cooking up your patties first and place them in the oven on around 150-180 degrees to stay warm. Alternatively you can just cook your mushrooms in the oven around 180 with a drizzle of oil - or even have them raw!

For the guacamole - place all ingredients in a food processor and blitz until smooth!



Next all we have to do is assemble. Place one mushroom on your plate - put on your patty, some guacamole and snow pea shoots. I also like to put on a hot sauce with mine and some goats cheese and place your secondary mushroom on top.



Enjoy!
