- 3/4 cup raw soaked cashews in boiled water drained and rinsed
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chipotle adobo sauce or 1 chipotle chili in adodo sauce
- 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or light olive oil
Toppings & Burger Ingredients
- green leaf lettuce
- Sliced avocado

- toasted hamburger buns gluten-free as needed
Instructions
- Fry aromatics: add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil to skillet over medium-high heat; cook down onion and garlic for about 5-7 minutes, until onions become translucent. Remove from heat.
- Make burger mixture: add cooked onion and garlic, drained chickpeas, tahini (or sunflower butter), crushed red pepper, spices, salt and pepper and fresh herbs to large bowl; mash well with potato masher then add in flour and mash again. If using food processor – first process onion through herbs by pulsing until mixture is broken down well. Then pulse in flour until combined. Remove S-blade before taking mixture out and shaping burgers.
- Heat large cast iron skillet to medium heat; add about one tablespoon olive oil.
- Prepare & cook patties: While the skillet warms up, scoop about 1/2 cup of mixture to make 6 large patties, or 1/3 cup to make 8 medium burgers (size of patties could depend on what kind of bun you're using). Place shaped patties into hot skillet and cook until dark gold on one side, about 5 minutes, before flipping to the other and cooking another 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and place in oven on "warm" function if you'd like.
- Make the cashew chipotle sauce: Make sure cashews have soaked in boiled water for 15 minutes. Add all ingredients to blender or food processor; blend until smooth. Taste test to see if you prefer more heat (add some more adobo sauce) or salt.
- Assemble burgers with favorite toppings and sauce; enjoy!
Notes
- If making larger patties, you'll end up with about 6 burgers. If you're just cooking for one, you can use 1 can chickpeas, 2.5 TBSP tahini, 2 TBSP flour and adjust spices to your liking.
- Vegan Chipotle Aioli recipe slightly adapted from Minimalist Baker.
