Garbanzo Veggie Burger Recipes

Steps:

• Place the beans, water and lemon juice in a food processor; cover and process until blended. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the bread crumbs, egg and seasonings; mix well. Shape into 4 patties., In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, cook patties in oil in batches until lightly browned, 3-4 minutes on each side. Serve on buns with cheese. Top as desired.

Steps:

• Place sunflower kernels in a food processor; cover and process until ground. Remove and set aside. Place beans in food processor; cover and process until ground. In a large bowl, combine the sunflower kernels, beans, carrots, onion, flour and oil. Shape 1/2 cupfuls into patties. , In a nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook the patties over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned and crisp. Serve on rolls with lettuce and tomato if desired.

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.

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).

Steps:

• Wash the barley and rice and drain.
• Add 1 1/2 cups of water to the grains and let it soak for 1 hour.
• Then cook the grains until done.
• In a blender, puree the can of beans.
• When done, put into a large bowl with the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and cumin powder and mix well.
• Add the shredded carrots to the bean mix.
• When the grains are done cooking, put them into the blender in 1 cup batches (don't dump all the rice in at once because it becomes gummy) and blend until it forms sort of a sticky ball.
• Do this until all the grains are used up.
• Add the sticky rice mix to the garbanzo bean mix and blend well (I just used my hands).
• Add an egg to the mix now and stir.
• Now form the mixture into 10 balls and flatten them like burger patties.
• Put onto a lightly greased baking pan and broil about 5 inches from heat for 5 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Mash garbanzo beans with potato masher or by hand. Leave some as slightly large pieces.
• Stir in carrots, bread crumbs, egg and salad dressing.
• Heat oil in nonstick skillet. Shape into 3-4 patties and brown on both sides. About 3 minutes on each side until browned. Garnish toasted buns and enjoy a new type burger.

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:

• Clean mushrooms with a damp cloth. Mince finely or put into a food processor until they are finely chopped.
• Saute the onions and garlic on medium high heat for 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until mushrooms are tender and darken in color. Remove from heat, drain off and reserve excess water. Season with salt and pepper.
• Mash or use a food processor on the Garbanzo beans to make a paste. It is okay if some of the beans are intact, gives a nice texture.
• Combine the mushroom mixture, the cooked quinoa, the mashed garbanzo beans, the bread crumbs, the green onions, the McCormick's seasoning and the beaten egg and combine well with a rubber spatula.
• You may need to add more liquid, use the reserve from the mushrooms & onion mixture.
• Form into patties. Make sure they are not too thick or they will not cook right. There should be 6 medium large patties, no more than 1/2 inch thick.
• Refrigerate the patties for an hour, covered tightly with plastic wrap.
• Use a non-stick pan to grill on each side, about 6 minutes each side on Medium High heat. I had no problems with sticking, but if you must you a cooking spray first.

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine chickpeas, oats, carrots, red onion, egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and olive oil. Blend just until combined.
• Add lemon juice and blend again until well-combined.
• Scoop out a handful of the mixture and form into patties.
• Heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Cook the patty 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
• Assemble with your favorite burger toppings.
• Enjoy!

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.
