Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 200 °C.
2. Bring the water and the couscous to the boil in a small pot.
3. Remove the couscous from the heat immediately and let it stand in the pot for 10 minutes, softening the water.
4. While the couscous is sitting, steaming the broccoli in a steam cooker or oven for 5-7 minutes, you simply want the broccoli to become soft.
5. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat and add the onion and scallions, stirring occasionally for 3-5 minutes until the onion becomes soft.
6. Remove the onions from the heat and stir in the cumin.
7. Gather couscous, broccoli, onion, chickpea and tahini mixes and combine them in a mixer.
8. Pour the mixture into a bowl and stir in the bread crumbs.
9. Form it into pies and place the pies on a sheet of cookie foil.
10. Bake for 50 minutes and turn the pies halfway. You’ll know they’re done when the tops turn brown.

Tahini Dressing:

1. To make the Tahini sauce, put all the ingredients in a mixer and mix for about 30 seconds.

Have some burger bread, give salad as you like, add dressing and the burger is ready.
