Chickpea Lentil Burgers

 

 



This recipe came in a section of the newspaper that had a "meatless monday" recipe. It is supposed to have a variety of cheese in it but I left them out. The recipe also said it makes 4 burgers but it was like enough for about 10. I froze the extra patties for future quick meals. They turned out great and we had them with some homemade french fries. Yum!

 

Ingredients:

1 onion, diced (I did half yellow half red)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp ground cumin

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1 1/2 cups lentils

1 1/2 cups chickpeas

1 tbl tahini

2 cups breadcrumbs

salt/pepper to taste

 

 Heat onion and garlic in a medium size skillet.

 

 

 



Add seasonings and remove from heat. Place lentils and chickpeas in a food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped. Add onion mixture and tahini to the food processor. Pulse until smooth.

 

 

 

Place mixture in a bowl with breadcrumbs and mix by hand. Form patties and cook them in a skillet, cast iron worked well. Serve on a bun or toasted bread with fixings. Enjoy!
