METHOD:
- To make the vegan mayo, mix together the garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, whole chickpeas and chickpea brine in a tall container (like a water jug) and blend together using a stick blender on high speed until smooth.
- Slowly drizzle in the sunflower oil while blending until you have a creamy and smooth emulsion.
- Transfer the mixture into a bowl and add the olive oil, drizzle in slowly, while continuously whisking. Season to taste and set aside.
- For the chips, heat sunflower oil in a large pot over medium to high heat, then fry the sweet potatoes in batches until crispy.
- Remove the sweet potatoes from oil and drain on kitchen towel, season with salt while still hot. Set aside and allow to cool.
- Assemble the burger by smearing a tablespoon of vegan mayo on the bottom half of the bun then top with Crunchita™.
- Place 2 cooked burger patties onto the lettuce then top with pesto, followed by radish slices and sweet potato chips.
- Spread a spoonful of hummus on the top half of the bun then place onto the burger.
