Chickpea Burgers
Makes 6 burgers
1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained, coarsely mashed
1 cup cooked rice
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup grated carrot
1/3 cup grated zucchini
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp tahini or peanut butter
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp dry mustard
Mix together all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Form into six equal sized patties and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes per side. Serve on whole wheat burger buns or pita bread with your favourite condiments. We tried the usuals (ketchup, mustard, relish) as well as the souped-up version with brie cheese and mango chutney.
This one's a keeper!
