âThis is the burger I like to make when it's chilly outdoors and the barbecue grill has been retired to the garage,â writes Lillian Julow of Gainesville, Florida. Ingredients:
1 large red onion, thinly sliced |
1/4 cup fat-free red wine vinaigrette |
2 cans (15 ounces each) garbanzo beans or chickpeas, rinsed and drained |
1/3 cup chopped walnuts |
1/4 cup toasted wheat germ |
1/4 cup packed fresh parsley sprigs |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon curry powder |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/3 cup fat-free mayonnaise |
2 teaspoons dijon mustard |
6 sesame seed hamburger buns, split |
6 lettuce leaves |
3 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil leaves |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine onion and vinaigrette; set aside. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, walnuts, wheat germ and parsley; cover and pulse until blended. Add the eggs, curry and pepper; cover and process until smooth.
2. Shape into six patties. Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 375° for 10-15 minutes or until firm.
3. Combine mayonnaise and mustard; spread over cut sides of buns. Serve patties on buns with lettuce, basil and reserved onion mixture. Yield: 6 servings.
