Chickpea burgers

Serves four, takes about 20 minutes

Chickpeas, also called garbanzos, are one of those things that much of the world loves (hummus, falafel) but aren’t as popular here. These are light and easy to make, and they’re a nice change from burgers or hot dogs on a hot August evening. Serve on buns or in pitas. A vinho verde would pair quite well.

Grocery List

2 cups cooked chickpeas (well drained if canned)

4 green onions, trimmed and sliced

1 egg

2 tablespoons flour

3-4 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Directions

1 clove chopped garlic

1 teaspoon ground cumin salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1. Place chickpeas, green onions, egg, flour, cilantro, garlic, cumin, and salt and pepper in a food processor. Pulse, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides, until a coarse mixture forms that holds together when pressed. It will be moist, but workable. Form into four patties.

2. In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add patties and cook until golden and beginning to crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip and cook until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes more.
