Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g canned chickpeas
- 0.5 red onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 60 g rolled oats
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 carrot
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 burger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Finely chop the red onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Grate the carrot using a box grater.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, chopped onion, minced garlic, rolled oats, ground cumin, ground coriander, and fresh parsley. Process until well combined but slightly textured, not completely smooth.
Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the grated carrot, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until fully incorporated.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chickpea patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and heated through.
While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato into rounds.
Toast the burger buns lightly, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on each bun base, followed by a chickpea patty, tomato slices, and then the top of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your high protein chickpea burgers with your choice of condiments or sides.
