A vegetarian "burger" made of chickpeas and marinated tofu! I love them, they taste great with a little mozzarella.

Time 16m

Yield 6-8 patties, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

19 ounces chickpeas
16 ounces tofu, chopped and marinated overnight in soy sauce and grated ginger
2 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup dried parsley
1 egg
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon black pepper
1/2 tablespoon salt
olive oil

Steps:

  • Put all the ingredients into a bowl.
  • Using a large fork or spoon, mash the ingredients together. (Alternatively, a blender can be used.).
  • When it's mashed enough so you can mold the mix into patties without it falling apart, do so! I made patties about the size of my palm, but they can be any size you want.
  • Heat up a frying pan with some olive oil in it. You might need to add more or less depending on the size of the pan, and how many patties you've made.
  • Carefully place the patties into the pan. Heat them for about 3 minutes, or until they're brown on the bottom. Flip them over, and go for 3 minutes again.
  • When they're done, take them off carefully with a spatula! Serve them up with some mozzarella cheese on whole-wheat bread. I think they taste best after microwaved for 30 seconds.
