Garbanzo Burgers

from Garbanzo Burgers with Cucumber & Cantaloupe Green Salad, the Week of September 29, 2013.
View the previous or next recipe for this meal.

These vegetarian burgers blend up quickly in a food processor and are seared like pancakes making for a slightly more moist veggie burger. That being said, try skipping the buns just as Heidi Swanson created for a more flavorful, less starchy veggie-burger experience.

Ingredients

  • 1½ cup garbanzo beans, drained, about 1 can
  • ½ onion, chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, chives, tarragon, etc.
  • ¼ cup flax meal, ground
  • ½ cup almond flour, or breadcrumbs instead
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, optional topping
  • 4 tablespoons dijon mustard, optional topping
  • 6 leaves lettuce, wash & dry, optional topping
  • 4 slices sweet onion , optional topping

Preparation Instructions

Place the beans, onion, fresh herbs, flax meal, almond meal and salt in the food processor. Pulse and whirl into a chunky well combined paste. Taste. Adjust the flavors as needed.

Add the eggs. Whirl around.

Heat up a griddle, cast iron pan or skillet over medium heat. Drizzle a splash of olive oil in the pan. Dollop on about 1/3-1/2 cup of the veggie patty batter. Sear until golden.

Flip over and sear on the other side. Place in a warm oven until all of the burgers are complete.

To serve, fill with your favorite burger toppings including mustard & mayo and veggies such as avocado, lettuce, sliced sweet onion, and more. Sandwich the toppings between the two burgers.

We topped ours with a bit of Tzatziki too for the photo above.
