Serves: 8-9 burgers
 
Ingredients
  • 2½ cups dry chickpeas
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 30-40 cloves garlic*
  • 3 tbsp. olive oil
  • 3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1½ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. pepper
  • ½ cup chopped parsley
  • 3 tbsp. vegetable or canola oil
Instructions
  1. Soak chickpeas for 10-12 hours or overnight in a large bowl with 1 tsp. baking soda. Ensure the chickpeas are covered by a few inches of water as some of it will be absorbed.
  2. Rinse and drain chickpeas.
  3. If you do not have roasted garlic on hand, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, place garlic on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and cook until tender and fragrant.
  4. In a food processor, combine chickpeas, olive oil, garlic, flour, salt, and pepper and blend until chickpeas are in small pieces. Transfer to a bowl.
  5. Using a spoon (or your hands!) mix in flour, egg, and parsley.
  6. Form the mixture into patties; this should make 8-9 patties
  7. Heat vegetable/canola oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the patties in the pan, cooking 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown.
  8. Place on wire rack to cool slightly before eating. Cool completely before freezing.
  9. Serve on buns, over salads, etc.!
