These Delicious Veggie burgers are so delicious and have a great texture with each bite. I’m going to show you how to make homemade veggie burgers that are flavorful, hearty and full of vegetables. These delicious vegetable-packed burgers are very high in fiber, healthy and tasty at the same time.

The ingredients:

Olive oil

1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed (400 g net weight, 250 g drained weight)

1 can red beans, drained and rinsed (400 g net weight, 250 g drained weight)

1 sweet or red onion

1 green pepper

1 carrot

3 cloves of garlic

1 small can of corn, drained (optional)

1 cup oatmeal flakes

1 cup breadcrumbs (or crushed rusks)

120 g silky tofu

(note: 1 cup = 240 ml)

Herbs and spices:



1 tbsp parsley (or coriander)

1 tsp dehydrated (or powdered) sage

1/2 tsp turmeric powder

1 tsp cumin powder

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp sweet pepper powder

salt and pepper.

Instructions

Mix chickpeas and beans quickly: be careful not to over-mix, do not get a puree! Set aside in a large bowl.

Wash, peel and mince the onion, pepper, carrot and garlic very finely (or quickly blend them in a food processor).

In a frying pan, sauté the garlic and onion with a tablespoon of olive oil for 1 or 2 minutes over medium heat, then add the other vegetables.

Leave on the heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are cooked.

Once cooked, let the vegetables cool to room temperature.

In the mixed bean and chickpea salad bowl: add herbs and spices, cooked vegetables, salt and pepper, bread crumbs, oatmeal and silky tofu.

Mix well directly with your hands! It is necessary to make the mixture uniform….

Take dough balls and form patties (about 1 cm thick) using a small pastry circle (max. 10 cm in diameter) to calibrate them identically, or directly with your hands.

For the Patty:

In a hot frying pan, pour in olive oil (one tablespoon of oil per patty).

When the oil crackles, pour the patty mixture into the pan: cook for several minutes without touching them (at the risk of breaking the patties) until the side against the pan becomes crisp and golden brown. Gently turn the patty over, and let the other side cook in the same way.

Arrange patties in toasted burger buns, with your favorite topping: thin slices of tomatoes, salad, thin slices of cheese, thin slices of red onion, Russian-style pickles, ketchup sauces, burger, mustard, etc.

As for cheese slices, there are some in a vegan version, and of good quality (good taste and that melts well when cooked), you can find them in organic stores or on the websites of vegan online shops.

Variation: you can also enjoy these vegetarian “steaks” in tortilla cakes! With salad, sauces, etc.
