Makes 6 servings (1 burger each). These hearty burgers are a great way to convince the family they will not miss the beef when they cut back on saturated fat. Ingredients:
2 cups cooked chickpeas, drained and mashed
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
¼ cup small onion, peeled and finely chopped
¼ cup whole wheat flour
salt and pepper to taste
2 teaspoons vegetable oil Directions:
Mix all ingredients (except the cooking oil) together in a large bowl. Divide to form 6 burger-shaped patties. Fry in a lightly-oiled nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown on one side. Turn and brown the other side. Serve on whole wheat rolls with lettuce and tomato or your favorite condiments. Other Options:
NOTE: Canned beans will also work well if you are short on time. Just be sure to rinse well to remove excess salt. Notes:
