Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams canned chickpeas
- 120 grams breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
- 6 tablespoons water
- 1 small, diced red onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 whole burger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce
Instructions
Rinse and drain the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water.
In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseeds with water and set aside for about 10 minutes to thicken.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, breadcrumbs, diced red onion, minced garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Mash the mixture with a potato masher or fork until well combined but still chunky.
Stir the flaxseed mixture into the chickpea mixture to bind it together.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil.
Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
Toast the burger buns lightly if desired.
Assemble each burger by placing a chickpea patty on the bun, add a lettuce leaf, and any other desired toppings such as tomato slices or avocado.
Serve hot and enjoy!
