Provided by Katie

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 14-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 large egg
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon harissa paste or powder, optional
1 teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 small carrot, peeled and shredded
8-ounce package cooked brown rice (or 1 ½ cup cold leftover cooked brown rice)
½ cup chopped parsley
3 tablespoons avocado oil or neutral cooking oil
3 tablespoons Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt
2 tablespoons tahini
½ teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
6 Toasted buns or English muffins for serving
Cucumber slices, red onion slices and sprouts for serving

Steps:

  • Place half of the chickpeas in the food processor with the steel blade attachment and process for 10 seconds. Scrape sides and process again until as smooth as possible.
  • Add the remaining chickpeas, egg, garlic, flour, cumin, harissa, ¾ teaspoon salt and cinnamon and pulse ten times until most of the whole chickpeas are cut into coarse grind with only some larger pieces about the size of a pea.
  • Scrape the chickpea mixture out into a large bowl. Add carrot, rice and parsley and stir together to make the burger dough.
  • Using moist hands, form patty mixture into six burgers, about 3 inches wide and ¾-inch thick. Set on a plate.

Add patties and cook, undisturbed until the bottom of the patties are browned and the color is visible along the bottom edges of the patties, about 5 minutes. Carefully flip the burgers over with a thin spatula and continue cooking until they are cooked through, about 3 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, whisk Greek yogurt, tahini, zest, lemon juice and the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Thin with water if desired.
  • Spread the tahini sauce over both cut sides of each bun or English muffin (about 1 tablespoon per bun half.) Serve the burgers on buns or English muffins topped with the cucumber, onion and sprouts.

Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 cups stemmed and finely chopped cremini mushrooms (about 1 pound)
5 garlic cloves, chopped
Sea salt
1/4 cup ground flaxseed (flax meal)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 cup cooked chickpeas, drained well
3 Medjool dates, pitted
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 egg
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
2 1/2 tablespoons tahini
3 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
Freshly ground pepper
2 cups cooked and cooled brown rice
1 to 2 tablespoons rolled oats, as needed
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil or coconut oil
4 large shallots, thinly sliced
6 whole grain English muffins
3/4 cup hummus
2 avocados, peeled and sliced
2 cups arugula

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large pan. Add mushrooms, garlic, and a pinch of salt and sauté until mushrooms are softened and excess water has cooked off, 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Combine ground flaxseed, Parmesan, chickpeas, dates, parsley, egg, fennel seeds, tahini, tamari, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a food processor. Pulse to combine well and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Once mushrooms are at room temperature, add them, along with pan juices, to the bowl along with rice and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes or up to 1 day. If the mixture seems too wet to form into a patty, stir in 1-2 tablespoons oats.
  • Preheat oven to 475° with rack in upper third.
  • Form the mixture into 6 patties, each 1" thick. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the patties with space in between. Bake until toasted, 14-18 minutes.
  • Warm oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add shallots and a pinch of salt and sauté until edges begin to brown, 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
  • After removing the patties from the oven, toast the English muffins. Put a swipe of hummus on each muffin half and assemble by layering patty, avocado, arugula, and shallots.

Tips:

  • Prepare Ingredients: Before starting, make sure to measure and chop all the required ingredients. This will save time and ensure the cooking process goes smoothly.
  • Use Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices to enhance the flavors of your veggie burgers. High-quality chickpea flour and brown rice will result in a better texture.
  • Properly Cook the Vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables until they are tender-crisp not only enhances their flavors but also ensures they retain their nutrients.
  • Forming the Veggie Burger Patties: Use a burger press or shape the patties by hand, making sure they are evenly thick to ensure uniform cooking.
  • Cooking the Veggie Burgers: Pan-frying the patties on medium heat allows for a crispy exterior and a tender interior. Alternatively, baking them in the oven is a healthier option, resulting in slightly softer patties.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve the veggie burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, sliced avocado, and vegan condiments like guacamole or hummus.

Conclusion:

These chickpea and brown rice veggie burgers are a delicious and nutritious alternative to traditional meat burgers. They are packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals. The combination of chickpeas, brown rice, and vegetables provides a well-balanced meal that is suitable for vegans, vegetarians, and anyone looking for a healthier burger option. Whether you prefer pan-frying or baking, these veggie burgers are sure to satisfy your taste buds and leave you feeling full and energized. Enjoy them as part of a balanced diet and impress your friends and family with your culinary skills!
