Golden Hummus Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• Combine chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, tahini, cumin, and salt in a blender and blend until smooth.
• Slice eggplants into four 1-inch (2 ½ cm) slices. Sprinkle eggplant slices with salt and let sit for 20-30 minutes, then pat dry.
• In a small bowl, stir together oil, paprika, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
• Brush each side of the eggplant slices with the oil and spice mixture.
• Heat a pan or grill on medium-high heat and cook each eggplant slice for 3-4 minutes per side.
• Build your burger with the hummus sandwiched between two eggplant slices.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Puree chickpeas, tahini, onion, oil, and all spices until a chunky paste results.
• Use a bit more lemon juice if neccessary.
• Stir in egg and oatmeal, mixture should be consistency of ground meat.
• Set aside for ~10 minutes, this helps the mixture firm.
• Form into 3-4 patties.
• Grill or broil until browned. (3-5 min per side).

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:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Mix all ingredients except buns, pickles, and cheese.
• Put mixture in an ungreased 10x13 pan and spread evenly edge to edge.
• Prick with a fork several times throughout.
• Bake 10-12 minutes until juices are clear then pour off the grease.
• Cut immediately into square patties the size of the buns and add desired toppings.

Steps:

• finely chop onion, peppers and garlic.
• saute vegetables and dip starter in olive oil until soft.
• rinse black beans and chop in food processor.
• Combine all ingredients well and form into 1/2 cup patties.
• lightly spray pan with cooking spray and cook over medium heat for about 5-10 minutes on each side.
