Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 piece green onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 100 grams plain breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, grated carrot, minced garlic, chopped green onion, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pulse until a chunky mixture forms, leaving some texture for bite.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the egg and half of the breadcrumbs (50 grams). Mix until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and shape each into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
Place the flour on a plate and the remaining breadcrumbs on another plate. Lightly coat each patty in flour, shaking off the excess, then press into the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and lightly toast them in a separate pan or toaster.
To assemble each burger, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato on top.
Place the crispy vegetarian patty on top of the tomato, then cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve the burgers immediately, enjoying the crunchy, flavorful vegetarian filling with fresh, crisp toppings.
