Chickpea Pumpkin Burgers Patties
Chickpea known as (ceci bean, garbanzo bean, chana, sanagalu Indian pea,
Bengal gram) and the are high in protein and hav a lot of vitamins and irons like:
zinc, magnesium, calcium, vitamin a, k, e, c, b 6 + 12 & more
Pumkin - my favorite is Hokaido so if you take this Pumkin thats fine.
It has a good source of fiber and provides vitamin a, vitamin c, bs , calcium,
potassium, iron, riboflavin, thiamine
Chickpea Pumpkin Burgers Serves 4-6
3/4 cup of dried chickpeas (2 cups cooked)
1 1/3 cups of roasted or cooked pumpkin
1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon of ground coriander
dash of cayenne
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
1 egg
1/2 cup of chickpea flour
1/2 - 2/3 cup of bread crumbs
generous handful of fresh basil and parsley, chopped
sea salt and black pepper to taste
Soak the chickpeas in enough water to cover overnight. Drain, transfer to a pot, cover with fresh water, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and cover and cook until the chickpeas are soft - roughly 1 hour. Drain and set aside.
To roast the pumpkin, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place chucks of the pumpkin flesh on a baking sheet and brush generously with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper. Cook until the pumpkin can be easily pierced with a fork (roughly 20 - 30 minutes). Transfer to a bowl and mash.
Put the pumpkin in a food processor, along with the chickpeas, spices, onion, garlic, jalapeno pepper, egg and herbs and process until smooth. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in the chickpea flour and enough bread crumbs until the mixture is moist but thick and dry enough to shape into patties. Stir in the salt and pepper.
In a large non-stick pan, heat a shallow pool of olive oil over medium heat. Fry the patties until golden on each side (roughly 3 - 5 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
Serve with tosted bread or whatever you like
For toppings you can use sweet chilli sauce thats great
or you do it with sweet potatos but I don't like them.
A really healthy thing, enjoy it!!!
