Chickpea Burger
Description
The recipe begins by mincing fresh vegetables and herbs in a food processor to create a flavorful base. Chickpeas form the main ingredient, held together with rolled oats and flour, while feta cheese adds saltiness and creaminess. Sundried tomatoes bring a concentrated sweetness and tang. The patties are shaped and pan-fried in olive oil to achieve a crisp exterior and tender interior.
These chickpea burgers can be served on buns with typical burger toppings or alongside salads and grain bowls. They provide a plant-based protein option with a wholesome texture and a mix of herby and savory flavors from the fresh ingredients and feta.
Cooked burgers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days with parchment paper between layers to maintain texture. They also freeze well if first chilled hard on a baking sheet and then sealed. Thawing overnight in the fridge before cooking again ensures even heating and consistency.
Ingredients
- ¼ red onion
- ¼ cup parsley fresh
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 (15-ounce) chickpeas drained and rinsed, canned
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup feta cheese crumbled
- ½ cup sundried tomatoes drained
- 2 tablespoons olive oil plus more, if needed
Instructions
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine red onion, parsley, garlic, and oregano until finely minced. Add chickpeas, oats, flour, feta, and sun dried tomatoes until mixture starts to come together into a large ball.
- Using ¼ cup of the chickpea mixture, form patties about ½ inch thick and arrange on a parchment lined sheet pan; it will yield 6 patties.
- Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add patties in batches and cook until golden brown, 4-5 minutes per side. You may need to add additional oil between batches. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Assemble burgers and serve immediately.
Notes
- Store leftover cooked patties in an airtight container with parchment paper between them, refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- Freeze uncooked patties individually on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer-safe container; thaw in the fridge overnight before cooking.
