Tonight I made "burgers" for dinner. Bryan, my "meat and potatoes" kinda guy, ate two of these burgers and raved on how good they tasted. Score! Brennan ate a small slider (another score!) and Alex, well, he hasn't eaten much this past week due to his steroids so I am not counting him in this poll! I really liked this recipe and I plan on making it again. I will warn that these burgers do not have the same texture as a beef or even a turkey burger, but they are tasty and much healthier for you than the red meat variety. I served these babies on King's Hawaiian Rolls with spicy brown mustard, romaine leaf lettuce and thin slices of roma tomatoes (the boys added cheddar cheese to their burgers).
Ingredients
2 cups of cooked and drained chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
1 cup of cooked brown rice
1 shallot, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 large egg, whisked
coarse sea salt & pepper to taste
parsley
2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
1. Mash brown rice and chickpeas together until they form a thick paste
2. Add in minced shallots and garlic, stirring well
3. Whisk in one large egg
4. Add in sea salt & pepper, to taste. Add in parsley.
5. Form into patties
6. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan. Cook patties on both sides until browned.
Our patties crumbled a bit so I may try two eggs next time. Of the three people who actually ate dinner, all three enjoyed the burgers so I'll call this one a hit! We ate this with baked fries and steamed broccoli.
