Pureed chickpeas, seasoned with the characteristic flavors of falafel, make excellent veggie burgers. We use a two-stage method for cooking the patties, first browning them in a skillet and then finishing them in the oven. Garnish the burgers with tzatziki or tahini sauce (see associated recipes), pickled red onions, lettuce and tomatoes.
½ cup coarsely chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 medium jalapeño pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped
¾ cup fresh cilantro and/or parsley leaves
1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added chickpeas, rinsed
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup dry whole-wheat breadcrumbs or gluten-free breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 whole-wheat or gluten-free burger buns, split and toasted
