Ingredients




540 ml can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 tsp tahini
½ tsp sriracha sauce
3 cloves garlic
3 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped
¼ large red onion, diced
4 tbsp peanut oil
8 slices of cucumber
8 slices of tomato
4 hamburger buns (I used President’s Choice multi-grain thins)
Tzatziki for topping

Preparation

1 Pat the chickpeas dry with a paper towel and throw them into a food processor along with the garlic. 2 Puree until smooth. 3 Using your clean hands incorporate tahini, sriracha, parsley and onion into the chickpea mixture. 4 Form mixture into four patties and set aside. 5 Heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. 6 Once the oil begins to shimmer add the patties and cook for three minutes per side or until golden brown. 7 Remove from and place in a hamburger bun. 8 Top each burger with 2 slices of tomato, 2 slices of cucumber and a dollop of tzatziki. 9 Serve immediately.
