Chickpea Burgers with Tahini Sauce (Adapted from Eating Well)
For the burgers
1 19-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
4 green onions, cleaned and sliced
1 egg
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 whole-wheat pitas, halved
For the sauce
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons tahini
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup chopped leaf parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
In a food processor, add chickpeas, onions, egg, flour, oregano, cumin and 1/4 teaspoon salt . Pulse the mixture until it is coarse and holds together. Be sure to scrape down the sides once or twice. Portion mixture into 4 even balls and form into patties.
In a large nonstick skillet, add oil and heat over medium-high. Add patties and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Gently flip and cook 2 to 4 minutes more, until crisp.
While the burgers cook, in a medium bowl whisk together yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, parsley and 1/4 teaspoon. Place each burger in a pita and serve with the sauce.

Thanks for the chickpea burger recipe. I have two cans of chickpeas that need to get used, so maybe I'll make one of these for lunch.
ReplyDeleteHey Anna!
ReplyDeleteI was surprised how much we liked them, but we have not had much experience in the chickpea realm yet!
