I have learned a lot on this meat-free journey, and one of the best things that has happened is that I am now fully confident about making my own veggie burgers. Chickpea burgers to be exact. I owe the wonderful recipe to Chouny and the Food.com website. When I started blogging, the site was known as Genius Kitchen, which, in my opinion, sounds more engaging.
I make the patties according to the recipe, but substitute ½ cup cooked chickpeas for the canned chickpeas. This makes two good-sized burgers.
Frying them is easy. They don’t fall apart and don’t stick to the pan. I probably cook them longer on each side than the recipe calls for. Just watch your oil. Start medium-high, add burgers cook until set, then flip and decrease heat a touch. We serve on skinny buns with lettuce or greens and mayo.
It’s the little things that can be so self-affirming.
