For the first time in Nando's history, a vegan burger was added to the menu and guests can now dig into the Spiced Chickpea Burger. This plant-based patty is made with chickpea and spinach, plus cumin, coriander and turmeric, and it can be found in Nando's famous soft, sweet roll with hummus, red pepper chutney and red pickled onions.
This new vegan burger began appearing on Nando's menu in early January, which gave plant-based eaters a fresh and inspiring new meal to try during Veganuary.
This plant-powered burger sets itself apart from many meatless options on restaurant menus that are made to look and taste like meat as much as possible. The Spiced Chickpea Burger celebrates plants and it's an option that can be enjoyed by all, regardless of their dietary preferences.
