Chickpea Burgers

A very hearty alternative to beef burgers. We often take these to bbq's and are asked whether we are vegetarian, our answer is always 'no, but we love these burgers'. Believe me, you will too!

Neecole's Chickpea Burgers
- 1 can drained, rinsed chickpeas
- 2 chopped green onions
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 1/3 cup unsalted peanuts or almonds
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh ginger
- salt and pepper
- large egg

Throw everything but the egg into a food processor. Pulse until chopped.

Remove half the mixture to a bowl; add egg to food processor. Process until smooth; add to reserved mixture in bowl, and mix well. Form the mixture into patties.

Brush each side generously with olive oil; grill until charred, 305 minutes per side. These burgers also freeze really well, thaw in refrigerator before grilling.
