For the burgers:

  • 1-15 oz can garbanzo beans drained
  • 8 mini burger buns
  • 3 TBSP whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 1/2 medium avocado sliced (optional)
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 stalk of green onion sliced
  • 1/2 TSP salt
  • 1/2 TSP cumin
  • 1/4 TSP chili powder
  • 1/4 TSP black pepper

For the aioli:

  • 1/2 cup raw slivered almonds
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 2 TSBP extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 TBSP horseradish mustard regular deli mustard will work too
  • Juice from 1/2 medium lemon
  • 1/4 TSP salt
  • 1/8 TSP black pepper
  • 5 TBSP water or enough to achieve desired consistency

Instructions
 

  • To make the burger patties: Combine the chickpeas, 2 TBSP of the olive oil, garlic clove, green onion, wheat flour, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper in food processor. Pulse until a smooth but thick mixture forms.
  • Form 8 chickpeas patties. Spread bread crumbs on a plate, then roll each patty in the crumbs.
  • Heat the remaining 2 TBSP of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the patties on the skillet, and cook on each side until lightly browned. Place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  • Meanwhile, to make the aioli: Wash out the food processor, then place the almonds, garlic, olive oil, mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper in it. Pulse until smooth. Scrape down the sides, add 1/4 cup of water and pulse again. To achieve a thinner consistency: Add another TBSP of water and pulse again. Repeat until you achieve desired consistency.
  • Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a mini burger bun, topping with a slice or two of avocado, and spreading some aioli on top with a butter knife. Enjoy!
