Introduction

This is an amped up version of a chickpea veggie burger I found online. I added the red pepper, garlic, and cheese. I eat all my veggie burgers on the Orowheat Sandwich Thins, they are only 100 calories, whole wheat, no trans fat, no HFCS, and they taste great.

Ingredients

    2 15 oz can no sodium added chickpeas
    2 small stalks of celery finely diced
    1 small onion finely diced
    1 tbsp dried parsley
    1 tsp of sesame seeds
    1 tsp minced garlic
    1.5 tsp sage

    Cooking Spray

    Whatever topping you like on your burgers. Those calories are not figured in.

Directions

Drain the chickpeas in a colander, then rinse them. I allow all the moisture to drain then blot them with a paper towel, so they don't make the burgers soggy. Mash them completely, they should look like refried beans.

In a large mixing bowl combine, all your ingredients.

Mix thoroughly

Heat skillet coated with cooking spray.

Form mixture into 6 similiarly sized balls, flatten balls and place in hot skillet.

Brown completely on each side ( about 10 mins) then remove from skillet and fix up like a burger.

Makes 6 burgers.
