Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup plain whole milk yogurt
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
Coarse salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more for brushing
1 medium onion, finely chopped
5 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3/4 teaspoon curry powder
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
1 large carrot, peeled and finely shredded in a food processor (3/4 cup)
2 small golden beets, peeled and finely shredded in a food processor (3/4 cup)
1 small zucchini, finely shredded in a food processor and squeezed between paper towels to remove excess liquid (3/4 cup)
1 1/2 cups cooked long-grain brown rice
1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups fine fresh breadcrumbs
6 pieces flatbread, such as naan
Sliced tomatoes, for serving
Fresh flat-leaf parsley sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Stir together yogurt, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Refrigerate sauce, covered, until ready to use.
  • Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and the pepper. Cook, stirring, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in curry powder and ginger; cook 3 seconds more. Add carrot, beets, and zucchini; cook, stirring often, until vegetables are just tender, about 2 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes.
  • Pulse rice, chickpeas, and half of the vegetable mixture in a food processor until it forms a coarse paste. Transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in remaining vegetable mixture and the breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Shape into 6 oval patties (about 4 inches long). Refrigerate, covered, until cold, about 30 minutes (or up to 3 hours).
  • Preheat grill to medium (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 5 to 6 seconds). Brush grill and burgers with oil. Grill burgers, flipping once, until charred and heated through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Grill bread, flipping once, until softened and lightly charred. Serve burgers on bread; top with tomato and reserved yogurt sauce. Garnish with parsley.

These burgers were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.

I've made these burgers several times now and they're always a hit. They're so versatile, I've served them on buns, in lettuce wraps, and even over rice.

These burgers were good, but I found them to be a bit dry. I think next time I'll add some grated zucchini or sweet potato to the mixture to help keep them moist.

I was skeptical about these burgers at first, but I'm so glad I tried them! They're delicious and so easy to make. I'll definitely be adding them to my regular meal rotation.

These veggie burgers were a hit with my family! They're packed with flavor and the lime yogurt sauce is the perfect complement. I'll definitely be making these again.
