Wonderful vegan chickpea burgers

Punkie · 12-27-2007, 12:39 PM

Mmm, these are so good! I adapted the recipe from the BBC program, You Are What You Eat

She puts them on a diet that is almost vegan. It is dairy and egg free, but it has some fish. Most days are vegan though.

Anyways, here's the recipe:

Chickpea Burgers
Makes 20

Ingredients:
1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 carrot, trimmed, peeled, and finely grated
1 small onion, peeled and finely grated (I just chopped it)
1/2 c. hulled sunflower seeds
2 tbsp. tahini, drained of any excess oil before measuring
1 garlic clove, peeled and chopped
1 handful chopped fresh cilantro
1 tbsp wheat free vegetable bouillon powder

Preheat the oven to 425.

Place all of the ingredients in a food processor and blend 5-10 seconds or until the mixture is fairly coarse. Push the mixture down with a spatula and blend for another 10 seconds.

Remove the blades of the food processor, wet your hands with cold water, and shape the mixture into 20 small balls.

Line a large baking tray with wax paper and put the balls on the tray. Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon.

Bake for 15-18 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let them rest before serving

Has anyone tried freezing this before cooking and thawing as needed?

Oh and is the fresh cilantro an absolute necessity? Can I use dried or substitute something??

I know this is old but. . . I am working on some substitutes for when my family eats hamburgers that are quick.

And I am wondering about an alternative to the veggie boullion powder? I can't get that here.
