Time 16m

Yield 6-8 patties, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

19 ounces chickpeas
16 ounces tofu, chopped and marinated overnight in soy sauce and grated ginger
2 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup dried parsley
1 egg
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon black pepper
1/2 tablespoon salt
olive oil

Steps:

Put all the ingredients into a bowl.
Using a large fork or spoon, mash the ingredients together. (Alternatively, a blender can be used.).
When it's mashed enough so you can mold the mix into patties without it falling apart, do so! I made patties about the size of my palm, but they can be any size you want.
Heat up a frying pan with some olive oil in it. You might need to add more or less depending on the size of the pan, and how many patties you've made.
Carefully place the patties into the pan. Heat them for about 3 minutes, or until they're brown on the bottom. Flip them over, and go for 3 minutes again.
When they're done, take them off carefully with a spatula! Serve them up with some mozzarella cheese on whole-wheat bread. I think they taste best after microwaved for 30 seconds.

Time 30m

Yield 9 patties

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

One 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 small carrot, roughly chopped
1 clove garlic
1 small onion, roughly chopped
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup breadcrumbs (I used whole-grain)
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
9 hamburger buns, split
Sliced avocado, for serving
Arugula or Bibb lettuce, for serving
Aioli, ketchup and/or mustard, for serving

Steps:

Place the chickpeas, carrot, garlic, onion, eggs and salt in a food processor and pulse until combined. Transfer to a medium bowl, add the breadcrumbs and sesame seeds and stir or gently knead to combine. The mixture will be moist.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture with an ice cream scoop then form into a patty with your hands. You should have 9 patties.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook the patties in a single layer until golden brown on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip the patties, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook until golden brown and heated through, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and repeat with the remaining patties.
Serve on the buns with your desired toppings and condiments.

Tips:

- To make the burgers more flavorful, use a variety of herbs and spices. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder. - If you don't have any oat flour on hand, you can easily make your own by grinding oats in a blender or food processor until they reach a fine consistency. - For a crispy outer layer, pan-fry the burgers in a little bit of oil until they are golden brown. - If you are short on time, you can bake the burgers instead of pan-frying them. Bake them at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, or until they are cooked through. - Serve the burgers on buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese.
