Receta Chickpea burgers
Chickpea burgers
Ever have one of those days when you open your fridge and realize that you have absolutely nothing to feed your starving 15 year old? No? OK.. well, that might just be me, but really.. This is one of those weeks when I think.. Did I really go grocery shopping on Friday? WTF did I buy?
Luckily I had a can of chickpeas in the pantry and instead of making a salad with them I decided I'd get a little crazy and make some burgers with them.. so I did a little research online... Ugh.. every recipe I found had stuff I didn't have.. rice.. nope, tofu.. nope.. Quinoa? nope, none of that either... so I decided to just wing it and go with what I had.
- 1 14oz can chickpeas
- 1/4 sweet onion chopped
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
- pinch of sea salt
- 1/4 tsp ground coriander
- about 2 Tbs olive oil
In a food processor add the onion and process it until it's finely chopped. Add the chickpeas and pulse 2/3 times until fully incorporated with the onion. Pour this mixture into a bowl and mix in the breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, salt and coriander. Pour in the olive oil and stir well to combine.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat while you make the patties.
Cook the patties over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side.
I served mine with mayo and a dash of Tabasco on whole wheat bread, lettuce and a cucumber tomato salad on the side.
This dinner was less than $2 to throw together.
W00t!
