This is a Rachael Ray recipe that I've been dying to try. I love the taste of chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans) and they are so full of protein and good things. You can also spice it up a bit with a few dashes of ground cumin, curry powder, or cayenne pepper in the chickpea mixture. Ingredients:
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained |
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies |
2/3 cup packed fresh flat leaf parsley |
2/3 cup breadcrumbs |
salt and pepper |
1 large egg, lightly beaten |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
4 slices cheddar cheese |
4 hamburger buns |
dijon mustard, for serving (optional) |
ketchup, for serving (optional) |
mayonnaise, for serving (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a food processor, pulse the chickpeas, green chiles, and parsley until finely chopped.
2. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl and stir in the bread crumbs and salt and pepper to taste.
3. Stir in the egg and form the mixture into 4 patties, each about 2/3 thick.
4. In a large skillet or grill pan, heat the oil over medium-low heat.
5. Cook the burgers for 4 minutes, then flip and cook for 3 minutes more.
6. Top the patties with the cheese slices for the last minute of cooking.
7. Serve the cheeseburgers on the hamburger buns with your choice of optional toppings.
