Mash chickpeas and brown rice until thick paste forms. Stir in shallot, garlic, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in egg. Form into four 1/2-inch-thick patties.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Spread with mustard, top with red onion and roasted red pepper, and wrap in lettuce.
These were incredible! My boyfriend (who is totally a meat guy) even gobbled them right up! They were also really yummy the next day heated up in the oven for a few minutes.
These are amazing! I wish I'd used a food processor because the chickpeas and rice were kind of difficult to mash together, but overall the recipe wasn't too difficult to prepare and the burgers were delicious. I will make these again!
Suprisingly tasty! I followed some of the suggestions and used a food processor and also added a sprinkle of cumin. I wasn't so much worried about the oil. It's a small amount and olive oil is a GOOD fat as long as you don't overindulge.
I also added cumin and it was a nice fit. I made this for my 3 kids and my youngest made me promise there'll be left overs! I love the brown mustard too.
These were really delicious, although I made a couple of changes. I pulsed teverything in the food processor to mix, added a bit of cumin and left out the egg (it didn't seem to need it). To address the concerns about frying in the comments below, if you use a non-stick pan you hardly need any oil at all, but there's barely any fat in the recipe to start with. Instead of wrapping them and eating like burgers, I served them on a bed of lettuce, red onions, radishes, and the peppers. Tasty!
eh! should have added spices like cumin & curry to add more flavor.
Ok, I'm no expert, but when I was making these I couldn't help but think the frying seemed pretty darn unhealthy. Is there nutrition info anywhere for this one? That being said, they were very tasty.
