Chickpea Broccoli Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• Place the chickpeas, carrot, garlic, onion, eggs and salt in a food processor and pulse until combined. Transfer to a medium bowl, add the breadcrumbs and sesame seeds and stir or gently knead to combine. The mixture will be moist.
• Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture with an ice cream scoop then form into a patty with your hands. You should have 9 patties.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook the patties in a single layer until golden brown on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip the patties, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook until golden brown and heated through, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and repeat with the remaining patties.
• Serve on the buns with your desired toppings and condiments.

Steps:

• In small saucepan, bring couscous and water to a boil; turn off heat, cover and let stand until liquid is absorbed and couscous is tender, about 10 minutes- Reserve 1 cup couscous and save remaining for another use.
