About the Recipe

These chickpeas burgers are a great source of proteins, fibers, vitamins, and minerals—a delicious alternative to meat patties. They are perfect with our multi grain burger buns (recipe here) and a side dish of grilled veggies (recipe here).

Ingredients

  • 2 Cans Chickpeas

  • 1 Medium Size Carrot

  • 1 Garlic

  • 1 Bunch Arugula

  • 1 Tsp Sea Salt

  • 3 Egg Whites

  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil

  • 1 Parsley Bunch

  • 1 Tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

  • 1 Tbsp Chickpeas Flour


Preparation

  1. Boil the chickpeas with the garlic clove (cut in half and remove the inner germ), parsley, and sea salt.

  2. Once reached the boiling point, let simmer on low heat for 30 minutes, making sure the water is consistently above the chickpeas.

  3. After 30 minutes, drain the water and dump the garlic and parsley; let cool down the chickpeas and remove their skin.

  4. Take out 5 Tbsp of chickpeas from the total amount, blend them with a tsp of extra virgin olive oil, put them in a large bowl, and set aside.

  5. Shred the carrot and set it aside.

  6. Using a hand mixer/stand mixer, beat the egg whites with a pinch of sea salt for about five minutes till they create a stiff peak.

  7. Add three tablespoons of the whipped white eggs into the blended chickpeas and stir.

  8. Add the remaining chickpeas, the shredded carrot, a pinch of salt, the chickpeas flour, and the arugula to the bowl.

  9. Add three tbsp at a time to the mix.

  10. Using a silicone spatula, mix bottom up, creating a vertical motion.

  11. Repeat till all are combined.

  12. Shape your patties and cook them in a frying pan; oil the entire surface with olive oil.

  13. Cook both sides till golden brown.
