Garbanzo Bean And Tahini Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and saute the onions, carrots, garlic, cumin, celery seed, and salt over medium heat until the onions are transparent. In a food processor, combine the nuts, and blend until 1/2 are a coarse meal and the other are just cracked. Place in a large mixing bowl and add the Sauteed vegetable mixture. Add the garbanzo beans in the processor and process the same way as the nuts. Add flour and arrowroot. Add the beans and parsley to the mixing bowl. Mix everything together well until the mixture has enough body to form a patty. If the mixture is too dry or crumbly, add a small amount of water to help the mixture bind. Form the mixture into 4 burgers. Lightly oil the frying pan and fry the burgers over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
• Heat oil in skillet, saute onion, scallion and garlic until soft. Add tehina and stir until lightly roasted. Dissolve miso and seasoning in 3/4 cup water. Stir into tehina. Add vinegar and simmer 5 minutes but do not boil. Add fresh parsley.

Steps:

• Using fork, coarsely mash 3/4 cup garbanzo beans in medium bowl. Mix in onion and next 3 ingredients. Puree remaining garbanzo beans, egg white, tahini and garlic in processor until almost smooth. Stir into mashed garbanzo bean mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Shape mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover and chill.)
• If grilling, spray grill rack with nonstick spray, then prepare barbecue (medium heat). If sautéing, spray large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray and heat over medium heat. Lightly spray patties on both sides with nonstick spray. Place patties on grill or in skillet and cook until golden brown and heated through, about three minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, mix yogurt, hot pepper sauce and cumin in small bowl.
• Place burgers in pita halves. Top with lettuce, tomatoes and yogurt.

Steps:

• Make the cabbage salad: Toss the cabbage, olive oil, lemon juice, honey and mint in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Make the tahini spread: Whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup water. Add up to 2 more tablespoons of water until the mixture is the consistency of mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper.
• Make the burgers: Combine the onion, scallions, garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Mash 1/2 cup of the chickpeas in a small bowl with a fork; set aside. Add half of the remaining chickpeas to the food processor and pulse until finely chopped (the mixture should look smooth but not pasty). Add the remaining whole chickpeas and pulse until roughly chopped (a few chickpeas may remain whole).
• Transfer the food processor mixture to a large bowl; add the chickpea flour and reserved mashed chickpeas and fold together with a rubber spatula until well combined. Form the chickpea mixture into four 4-inch-wide patties (1/2 to 3/4 inch thick). Place on a plate lined with wax paper. Loosely cover and chill for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
• Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 patties; cook until dark brown and crisp, about 4 minutes. Carefully flip and cook until the other side is browned and the patties are hot in the center, 3 to 4 more minutes. Repeat with the remaining patties. Spread the tahini spread on the buns. Serve the burgers on the buns with the cabbage salad, pickles and pepperoncini.

Steps:

Steps:

• Blend all ingredients together.
• Mash or puree until smooth, adding more water as needed until the dip is at your personal desired consistancy (I like mine thick!).
• Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days (the longer it sits in there, the better the flavors will blend).
