1 large red chilli , deseeded and finely chopped
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp ground coriander
30g pack coriander , stalks and leaves chopped but kept separate
1 lime , zested, 1/2 juiced, 1/2 cut into 4 wedges

1 red onion , halved and thinly sliced
2 carrots , shredded (ideally with a julienne peeler)
1 pomegranate seeds only
2 tbsp chopped mint
1 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp extra virgin rapeseed oil

Steps:

Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Cook the bulghar in a small pan of water for 5 mins. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry the onions and garlic, stirring, for 5 mins or until starting to turn golden. Add the carrots and chilli, and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 mins until the carrots soften. Add the cumin, ground coriander, coriander stalks and lime zest, and stir well.
Tip the chickpeas into a bowl and crush with a masher or fork, then add the eggs and miso to form a chunky paste.
Drain the bulghar well and stir into the spicy vegetables. Take off the heat, shape into eight burgers and place on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment. Bake in the oven for 15-20 mins or until firm and starting to turn golden.
For the slaw, combine all the ingredients in a big bowl with the lime juice and coriander leaves. Serve with the burgers and lime wedges for squeezing over.
