Ingredients

• 1 cup Chickpeas, cooked and drained
• 0.5 cup Quinoa, cooked
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats, ground into flour
• 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Cumin, ground
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Flaxseed meal
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the flaxseed meal and water. Let sit for 5 minutes to form a flax egg, which will serve as a binder.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked chickpeas with a fork or a potato masher until mostly smooth with a few lumps for texture.

Step 3

Add the cooked quinoa, oat flour, red onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, tomato paste, cumin, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt to the mashed chickpeas.

Step 4

Stir in the flax egg and mix until all ingredients are well combined. The mixture should be cohesive and hold together when pressed.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form each portion into a burger patty approximately 3/4 inch thick.

Step 6

Heat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to the grill or pan to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until a nice char is formed and the patties are heated through.

Step 8

Remove from the grill and let the patties rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve in a bun or lettuce wrap with your favorite vegan toppings such as avocado, lettuce, tomato, and vegan mayo.
