Eat Drink Better | Vegan Recipe: Realgood Greekburgers | Page: 1 ...

So you?ve resolved to?expand your healthy?menu?choices this year. Wonderful!?This burger recipe offers a healthier ?fast food? lunch option, along with indulgent vegan deliciousness. Fair warning, though: you may not be able to stop after eating just one!

Ingredients

1/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats
3 cups soaked raw chickpeas
1/2 teaspoon each: garlic powder, onion powder
2 teaspoons each: salt, dried basil, dried oregano, dried parsley
1/8?to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, to taste
1/4 cup vital wheat gluten
3?Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2?Tablespoons veggie broth (such as?pre-mixed Better than Bouillon no-chicken broth)

Directions

Soak chickpeas overnight, or quick-soak according to package directions.

Combine oats,?chickpeas, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, basil, oregano, parsley, and cayenne in a blender or food processor, and process until you?ve got a pretty fine mealy mixture (though a few visible chickpeas are ok).

Transfer to a large mixing bowl, and stir in the vital wheat gluten, olive oil, and veggie broth. Mix well to combine all ingredients, then use your hands to shape mixture?into 8 patties about 3-1/2? to 4-1/2? diameter. In a large well-oiled skillet, cook the patties about 5-7 minutes on each side over medium heat, until lightly browned.

Serve on burger buns with hummus, spinach, olives,?vegan tzatziki, and avocado slices ? or eat plain, straight from the pan!

Production Notes

This recipe works well as a make-ahead dish. After forming the chickpea mixture into patties, place them in a single layer on a large serving dish (or a double layer on a dinner plate, with wax paper or?aluminum foil?between layers), cover with foil, and refrigerate until ready to cook.?They also hold together well enough to grill, if?weather conditions where you live?are?hospitable towards outdoor cooking.

These burgers freeze well, if you want to make a double-batch and save some for later.

Enjoy!
