The Best Veggy Burger Recipe

Ingredients:

( MWP5SSRKFDGR )

2 1/2 cups sprouted garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
4 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon fine-grain salt
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 onion, chopped
Grated zest of one large lemon
1 cup sprouts, chopped (try broccoli or alfalfa sprouts – optional)
1 cup toasted bread crumbs
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Method:

  • Steam garbanzos/chickpeas until just tender, about 10 minutes and combine the eggs, and salt in a food processor.
  • Puree until the mixture is the consistency of a very thick, slightly chunky hummus.
  • Pour into a mixing bowl and stir in the cilantro, onion, zest, and sprouts. Add the breadcrumbs, stir, and let sit for a couple of minutes so the crumbs can absorb some of the moisture.
  • At this point, you should have a moist mixture that you can easily form into twelve 1 1/2 -inch-thick patties. I prefer on the moist side here, because it makes for a nicely textured burger.
  • You can add more bread crumbs a bit at a time to firm up the dough if need be.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium low, add 4 patties, cover, and cook for 7  minutes, until the bottoms begin to brown. Turn up the heat if there is no browning.
  • Flip the patties and cook the second side for 7 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the skillet and cool on a wire rack while you cook the remaining patties.

Enjoy immediately!
