chickpea burger ingredients

Ingredients

  • Shimeji mushrooms - These are well known for providing a savory and slightly nutty flavor to recipes. If you can’t find any, a good alternative is oyster mushrooms.
  • Chickpeas - I’ve used canned chickpeas for convenience. Since canned chickpeas usually have a brown liquid top layer, it’s best to first rinse the chickpeas before adding them to the food processor. You could also use raw chickpeas but then be sure to soak them in a bowl of water for up to 8 hours or overnight.
  • Egg - This helps to bind the chickpea patties so that they are less likely to fall apart while cooking.
  • Greek Yogurt - This provides moisture to the patty mixture. You could also use plain full-fat yogurt or sour cream if you like.
  • Spices and Seasoning - These patties are given a delicious Asian curried flavor by using ingredients such as garlic clove, red and brown onion, curry powder, sweet paprika, chopped fresh cilantro, red curry paste, ground ginger, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Carrot marinade - I’ve made my carrot marinade from scratch. If you want to reduce the recipe preparation time, I suggest making this marinade ahead of time to store in the fridge. You could also look for a similar marinade in your local store.
  • Tahini yogurt sauce - This homemade tahini sauce can easily be replaced by a store-bought tahini sauce for convenience or you can make it ahead of time and store it in the fridge, ready to be used when assembling your burgers. Or use homemade hummus which is also excellent with stovetop beef burgers.
  • Burger toppings - Serve your chickpea patties on brioche or similar burger buns with toppings such as cheese slices, crispy lettuce, sliced pickles, or anything else that you enjoy as a topping.
