Superfood Veggie Slaw Chickpea Burger

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup dry chickpeas (canned or cooked chickpeas will not work)
4 cups Superfood Veggie Slaw
½ yellow onion, peeled with stem cut off
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1 ½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground black pepper
1 Tbsp. ground cumin
1 Tbsp. ground coriander
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ bunch cilantro, including stems

DIRECTIONS:

Soak dry chickpeas overnight in 4 cups of water.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Place slaw in the bowl of a food processor and pulse for a total of five seconds to mince the vegetables, but not puree. Dump out the minced vegetables into a medium mixing bowl.

Drain the soaked chickpeas and discard the water. Place the drained chickpeas and all of the remaining ingredients into the bowl of a food processor. Puree all of the ingredients finely, periodically scraping down the bowl, about 1 minute. Add the chickpea puree to the bowl of minced vegetables, and mix well. Scoop 1/2 cup of the mix and shape into patties.

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet. When hot, add the patties and brown on both sides, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove patties from the skillet, place them on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper, and finish cooking them in the oven for 8 minutes. 

Serve on whole wheat hamburger buns or in pita bread. 

Makes 6 patties

Enjoy!
