Foodie Friday 🍃🍔

Chickpea Veggie Burger 😋

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup dried chickpeas, soaked overnight can sub for canned chickpeas, as well

• 1/4 cup ground flaxseed meal add more if the mixture is too wet

• 1/2 lemon, juiced

• 1 tsp thyme

• 2 garlic cloves

• 1 tsp cayenne pepper

• 1 tsp sea salt

• 1 tsp black pepper

• 1/2 onion coarsely chopped

• 1/2 handful cilantro (about 1/2 cup) optional

INSTRUCTIONS

• In a food processor, add your chickpeas, garlic, onions, cayenne pepper (for some spice), lemon, thyme, cilantro (optional), sea salt & black pepper.

• Pulse about 5 or 6 times until all ingredients are combined well.

• Remove chickpea mixture from the food processor into a mixing bowl. Add ground flaxseed meal and mix well.

• Put the mixture in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour. This will allow all the flavors to meld and the texture to become firm.

• Use hands to form the chickpea patties.

• Add olive oil to a grill pan. Once the oil is hot (2-3 minutes) add your chickpea burgers to the grill pan.

• Cook for about 3-5 minutes on both sides until golden.

NOTES

How to make these burgers without a food processor: Use a fork or potato masher to mash the chickpeas and add the remaining ingredients as mentioned above. 

Optional: Sprinkle your chickpea burger with your favorite toppings and dressings. 😍

Enjoy ❤
