CucinaDomenico.com While researching this recipe, I found that there are a handful of pumpkin burger patty recipes available on various food websites. In addition to pumpkin puree, they all use white beans as the key ingredient. However, none of the recipes utilized traditional pumpkin spices. Instead, most rely on corn, peppers and other usual suspects found in a veggie patty. Because I wanted to stay true to the pumpkin taste, yet have it hold up as burger patty, I put together my own version, using pumpkin puree, chickpeas (any white bean would work well), traditional pumpkin spices and some
tarragon to add a little savory flavor. To keep with the pumpkin theme, I also cut back heavily on the recommended amount of breadcrumbs and compensated with ground pecans, which, of course, go well with any pumpkin dish! I also substituted traditional condiments with a maple dressing – again, to complement the spicy pumpkin taste. Whether you are a fan of pumpkin or just a lover of veggie burgers, I suggest you give this one a try. And while this is the optimal season for this recipe, I’m sure that you’ll enjoy these any time of the year!

Place the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or in the freezer for 20-30 minutes. After you remove mixture from the fridge/freezer, gently scoop a generous handful and shape into a patty (makes a total of 4 to 6 patties). Place the patties on a lightly sprayed baking sheet.
