Aubergine sliders

Think of these as a veggie burger without the bun. Meaty aubergine is given a new lease of life when covered with a stringy Gruyere or salty Feta cheese and baked in the oven. These tasty sliders would be perfect served with salad in a pitta pocket, with a dollop of tzatziki on top or if you'd prefer, with or without a seedy burger bun.

The soft texture of these chickpea burgers makes them great for kids and the pulses mean they're packed with protein too. We think they're even tastier with a few pickles, a squirt of American mustard and some melted Stilton on top but equally, you can keep things simple and just enjoy the nutty flavours.
