Ingredients

• 425 grams Canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
• 100 grams Rolled oats
• 0.5 medium Red onion (finely diced)
• 15 grams Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 10 grams Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 50 grams Sun-dried tomatoes (finely chopped)
• 30 grams All-purpose flour (or gluten-free substitute)
• 4 pieces Burger buns (vegan)
• 0 Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato slices, cucumber, vegan tzatziki sauce

Directions

Step 1

1. In a food processor, pulse the rolled oats until they are a coarse flour consistency. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

2. Add the chickpeas to the food processor and pulse until they are roughly mashed. Avoid over-processing; you want a mixture with some texture. Transfer to the mixing bowl with the oats.

Step 3

3. Add the finely diced red onion, fresh parsley, fresh cilantro, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground paprika, salt, black pepper, and sun-dried tomatoes to the bowl.

Step 4

4. Squeeze in the fresh lemon juice and drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the mixture. Using a spoon or your hands, mix everything until well combined.

Step 5

5. Gradually sprinkle the flour into the mixture, mixing until it holds together well when pressed. If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more flour, 1 teaspoon at a time.

Step 6

6. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick.

Step 7

7. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 8

8. While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns if desired.

Step 9

9. Assemble the burgers by placing a cooked patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with optional toppings like lettuce, tomato slices, cucumber, and vegan tzatziki sauce. Cover with the top half of the bun.

Step 10

10. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Mediterranean veggie burgers!
