Ingredients
- 1 cup of uncooked USA brown rice For more info on their rice, visit riceinfo.com
- 2 cans of chickpea drained (1080mL/38 fl oz)
- 1 cup sunflower seeds
- 3 cloves garlic diced
- 1 carrot shredded
- 2 Jalapeño diced
- 2 cups mushrooms diced and leave some whole aside for topping
- 1 tomato sliced
- 1 small onion sliced or diced
- 1 head of lettuce
- salt and pepper to taste
- Buns
- ketchup and mustard
Instructions
- Cook 1 cup of brown rice.
- While it is still warm (important!), pour into the food processor alongside the chickpeas.
- Pulse until the chickpeas and rice are smooth and blended together.
- While the food processor is doing its job, on the skillet, toast your sunflower seeds and lightly cook your diced garlic.
- Pour into the chickpea and brown rice into a large bowl and mix in the sunflower seeds, garlic, carrots, and mushroom. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- After they are well mixed together, shape them into patties (you want them a bit smaller than the buns).
- Put the patties onto the skillet and let it cook on each side for 2-3 minutes each.
- Optional: toast the buns on the skillet too and serve with sliced tomatoes, lettuce, mushrooms, and onions. Top with ketchup and mustard.
