CHICKPEA BURGER RECIPE

Steps:

• Place half of the chickpeas in the food processor with the steel blade attachment and process for 10 seconds. Scrape sides and process again until as smooth as possible.
• Add the remaining chickpeas, egg, garlic, flour, cumin, harissa, ¾ teaspoon salt and cinnamon and pulse ten times until most of the whole chickpeas are cut into coarse grind with only some larger pieces about the size of a pea.
• Scrape the chickpea mixture out into a large bowl. Add carrot, rice and parsley and stir together to make the burger dough.
• Using moist hands, form patty mixture into six burgers, about 3 inches wide and ¾-inch thick. Set on a plate.
• Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook, undisturbed until the bottom of the patties are browned and the color is visible along the bottom edges of the patties, about 5 minutes. Carefully flip the burgers over with a thin spatula and continue cooking until they are cooked through, about 3 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile, whisk Greek yogurt, tahini, zest, lemon juice and the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Thin with water if desired.
• Spread the tahini sauce over both cut sides of each bun or English muffin (about 1 tablespoon per bun half.) Serve the burgers on buns or English muffins topped with the cucumber, onion and sprouts.

MUSHROOM AND BROWN RICE VEGGIE BURGER

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large pan. Add mushrooms, garlic, and a pinch of salt and sauté until mushrooms are softened and excess water has cooked off, 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Combine ground flaxseed, Parmesan, chickpeas, dates, parsley, egg, fennel seeds, tahini, tamari, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a food processor. Pulse to combine well and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Once mushrooms are at room temperature, add them, along with pan juices, to the bowl along with rice and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes or up to 1 day. If the mixture seems too wet to form into a patty, stir in 1-2 tablespoons oats.
• Preheat oven to 475° with rack in upper third.
• Form the mixture into 6 patties, each 1" thick. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the patties with space in between. Bake until toasted, 14-18 minutes.
• Warm oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add shallots and a pinch of salt and sauté until edges begin to brown, 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
• After removing the patties from the oven, toast the English muffins. Put a swipe of hummus on each muffin half and assemble by layering patty, avocado, arugula, and shallots.
