CHICKPEA VEGGIE BURGERS

Steps:

• Place chickpeas and harissa in a large bowl. Mash with a masher or fork until a coarse paste forms; leave some slightly larger pieces of chickpeas. (Alternatively, place chickpeas and harissa in a food processor and pulse until a coarse paste forms, 8 to 10 pulses.) Add herbs, panko, lemon juice, salt, and several grinds of pepper. Stir and lightly mash mixture until well combined. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes or refrigerate, covered, up to overnight.
• Form mixture into 4 (¾-inch thick) patties. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Add patties and cook, flipping once, until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
• Mash avocados and spread evenly on both cut sides of buns. Assemble burgers with patties, tomatoes, onion, and lettuce. Serve alongside additional harissa, if desired.

VEGETARIAN CHICKPEA BURGERS

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse the chickpeas, green chiles, and parsley until finely chopped.
• Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl and stir in the bread crumbs and salt and pepper to taste.
• Stir in the egg and form the mixture into 4 patties, each about 2/3" thick.
• In a large skillet or grill pan, heat the oil over medium-low heat.
• Cook the burgers for 4 minutes, then flip and cook for 3 minutes more.
• Top the patties with the cheese slices for the last minute of cooking.
• Serve the cheeseburgers on the hamburger buns with your choice of optional toppings.

CHICKPEA & CORIANDER BURGERS

Steps:

• In a food processor, whizz the chickpeas, lemon zest, lemon juice, cumin, half the coriander, the egg and some seasoning. Scrape into a bowl and mix with 80g of the breadcrumbs and the diced onions. Form 4 burgers, press remaining breadcrumbs onto both sides and chill for at least 10 mins.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan until hot. Fry the burgers for 4 mins each side, keeping the heat on medium so they don't burn. To serve, slice each bun and fill with a slice of tomato, a burger, a few red onion slices, some cucumber slices, a dollop of chilli sauce and the remaining coriander.

CHICKPEA BURGERS

Steps:

• Place the chickpeas, carrot, garlic, onion, eggs and salt in a food processor and pulse until combined. Transfer to a medium bowl, add the breadcrumbs and sesame seeds and stir or gently knead to combine. The mixture will be moist.
• Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture with an ice cream scoop then form into a patty with your hands. You should have 9 patties.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook the patties in a single layer until golden brown on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip the patties, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook until golden brown and heated through, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and repeat with the remaining patties.
• Serve on the buns with your desired toppings and condiments.

CHICKPEA BURGER

Steps:

• Peel the carrots, grate them coarsely and set them aside.
• Peel and roughly chop the garlic.
• Drain and rinse the chickpeas and put them into a food processor with the garlic, ground spices, salt and pepper. Slightly process to obtain a rough paste then add the carrot, egg, and flour and process briefly until evenly mixed but slightly rugged.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan and divide the mixture into 8. Fry in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden, then drain on kitchen paper.
• Keep opened chickpea can to cut round shapes in bread slices. Toast each slice in toaster or in frying pan.
• Serve with slices of tomato and red onions and mayonnaise.

ONE-BOWL VEGAN HUMMUS CHICKPEA BURGERS

Steps:

• Add all ingredients except olive oil to a medium bowl, starting with the lesser amount of hummus. Using a fork or potato masher, mix all ingredients together, mashing the chickpeas as you do so (but don't completely mash them - you want to leave a bit of texture). Add more hummus if needed to bind the burgers together. You want the mixture to hold together easily when squeezed, but you don't want it too wet. Because moisture levels in hummus can vary, I suggest starting with less hummus then adding a little more at a time until your mixture holds together when you squeeze it.
• Divide the burger mixture into fourths. Using your hands, form four patties about 4 inches in diameter. I like to press my burgers into this 4.5-inch circular cookie cutter for the perfect shape, but it's not necessary at all.
• Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. When hot, add the olive oil. When the olive oil is hot, add the burgers, cooking in batches if your pan isn't big enough.
• Cook on one side for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side for 2-3 more minutes, until browned.
• Serve immediately - on a bun with accompaniments, over a salad, or on its own as a quick snack (um not that I've ever done that).
