Baked Chickpea Burgers

December_boy_1983

What You'll Need:

•1 small onion, finely diced
•2 tablespoons olive oil
•1 carrot, peeled and cut into chunks
•2 cloves garlic, peeled
•1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves (add more herbs like dill, mint, and basil for a different flavor)
•1.5 cups cooked or canned chickpeas (if canned, be sure to rinse off the can-slime!)
•1/2 cup bread crumbs
•1/2 teaspoon salt
•1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
•1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
What to Do:
1.Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
2.Add the diced onion and saute, stirring occasionally, for five minutes, until soft and translucent. Remove from heat and place onions in a large bowl.
3.In a food processor, blend carrot, garlic, parsley/herbs, and chickpeas until smooth. Add chickpea mixture to the bowl with the onions and mix to combine.
4.Add bread crumbs, salt, coriander, and cumin to the chickpea mixture and mix until fully combined.
5.Spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray or brush with olive oil. Form chickpea mixture into 4 patties about 3 inches across and 1/2 inch thick. Place patties on and baking sheet and use a pastry brush to brush patties with remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
6.Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they begin to turn golden brown. Serve warm with tzatziki sauce and tabbouleh.

That looks good. A food process makes it relatively easy. The coriander is interesting.

I wonder if you can omit the breadcrumbs and sub in some egg to hold everything together. My guess is yes.
