Home made chickpea burgers:
1 can chick peas, drained and rinsed
1 large egg
3 TBS all purpose flour
2 TBS olive oil
juice of 1/2 lemon
3 large cloves of garlic
1 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
salt and pepper
pinch of cayenne
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
Puree the first 6 ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Transfer to a mixing bowl. Fold the peas and breadcrumbs into the mixture. Season with salt, pepper and spices. Shape mixture into approx. 6 patties.
In a large skillet heat up some olive oil. Cook patties for about 5 minutes or until golden. Flip them and cook another 5 minutes. Enjoy with your favorite burger condiments or serve them like we did with avocado, salsa and Greek yogurt.
Since I ran out of chilli powder, I threw in a dash of cajun too, I expect them to be spicy. I'm going to let it sit in the fridge over night since I made sauce with crumbled turkey and basil for supper with the noodles tonight, I will let you know tomorrow night if these are worth it.
I've got a couple of recipes for meatless burgers, including one that calls for black beans, frankly, comparing the price of home made to store bought? If I can find one that's delicious and home made I will be saving us a couple bucks!
