Two posts, back to back, two days in a row?! Who is this girl!? Where did she come from!
I made these burgers for dinner tonight, which were incredibly tasty. I served them alongside snapea crisps. I’m about to start holiday celebrations tomorrow, so this was a great light meal before I start pigging out.
The green avocados are calling out to Eat Your Greens – so here is my submission!
Falafel Burger with Guacamole
Ingredients
1/4 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp olive oil
1/4 tsp cumin
1 15-oz can chickpeas, drained
6 sage leaves
pinch of crushed red pepper
pinch of baking powder
1/2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 tbsp water
1 ripe avocado
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 hamburger buns
1/2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tomato, sliced
salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil. Add your onion and garlic with the cumin and cook until tender and golden brown.
- In a food processor, process together the chickpeas and sage. Do not over process. You do not want to create a paste. You just want to break down the chickpeas.
- In a bowl, combine the chickpeas and onions. Stir in the crushed red pepper, baking powder, flour, and water.
- Make patties of the chickpea mixture. Place on a baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes.
- While the patties are cooking, in a blender combine the avocado, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Puree together until smooth. If it is not smoothing out, add some water a little at a time.
- Toast your hamburger buns.
- Spread the bottom bun with mayonnaise. Top with a chickpea patty, guacamole, and tomato slices.
