This is a healthy veggie alternative to the classic burger and they can be frozen cooked or uncooked for easy preparing ahead. Time does not include chilling. From Good Food June 2011. Ingredients:
14 ounces garbanzo beans, drained |
1 lemon (zest of whole lemon and juice of half of it) |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 ounce cilantro, chopped |
1 egg |
4 ounces fresh breadcrumbs |
1 red onion (1/2 sliced and 1/2 diced) |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
4 wholewheat hamburger buns |
1 tomato, sliced |
1/2 cucumber, sliced |
Directions:
1. In a food processor, whiz the garbanzo beans, lemon zest, lemon juice, cumin, half the cilantro, egg and some salt and pepper. Scrape into a bowl and mix with 3oz of the breadcrumbs and the diced onions.
2. Form 4 burgers, press remaining breadcrumbs onto both sides and chill for at least 10 minutes
3. Heat the oil in a large frying pan until hot. Fry the burgers for 4 mins each side, keeping the heat on medium so they don’t burn.
