So it’s been quite a while, but I’m back to blogging! I’m changing gears just slightly and keeping it as simple and healthy as possible…..less wording and still tasty as ever!
Makes 4 burgers
1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 1/4 c. cooked brown rice
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 of a yellow onion, small diced
1/3 c. bell pepper, small diced
1/4 c. oat flour (just oats ground up in food processor or blender)
1/4 c. fresh chopped parsley
1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. turmeric
1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
1 egg white
Juice from 1/2 a lemon
Salt and pepper
1 tbsp. oil
**you can substitute other spices depending on what you have on hand 🙂
Heat oil in a skillet over med-high heat. Saute peppers, onion and garlic for 4-5 minutes until soft. Mash chickpeas in a large bowl with a potato masher until smooth. Add sautéed veggies and remaining ingredients. Stir until well combined. Divide mixture into four equal portions and form into patties about 1 inch thick. Place patties on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes until golden, turning once halfway through. Serve in a pita, on a ww bun, on a salad or in a lettuce wrap….yum!
