Ingredients
- 2 cans Chickpeas 398ml, drained and rinsed
- 2 can Black beans 398ml, drained and rinsed
- 1 medium Sweet Vidalia Onion, chopped
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and finely shredded
- 1 Egg White
- 2 tbsp. Red Beet Soluble Crystals
- 1 tbsp. Organic Mushroom Powder
- 3 tbsp. BBQ Sauce, your favourite
- 1-2 tbsp. Joe Beef's Montreal Spice Blend
- 1 tbsp. Granulated Galic
- 1 tbsp. Onion Powder
- 1 tbsp. Salt & Pepper
- 1-2 tbsp. Panko
Instructions
- To a small skillet warm 1 tbsp. butter and 1 tbsp. Olive oil over medium heat. Add in your onions and saute them until they are translucent and sweet to taste. I like to add a little pinch of salt and sugar to my onions to balance out the flavourings and cook for approximately 8-10 minutes. Add in the finely shredded sweet potatoes and saute for an additional 2 minutes. Set aside.In a large food processor add your chickpeas and black beans. You may need to add them in sections if your food processor is smaller. Process them until they are almost to a paste. They will be slightly chunky though as we took all the liquid out of them. This is ok. Add them to a large bowl.To the same bowl, add the onion and sweet potato mixture, the bbq sauce and all of the seasonings. Mix everything together really good here. If you find that your mix is too wet, add in some chickpea flour or flour. You may want to add 1 to 2 tbsp. of the flour if you feel it needs it to hold together better. I didn't need to add anything extra when I made them. Taste your mix! This step is very important because you want the flavouring to be to your liking. Adjust the seasoning as needed!Shape your burgers into 3 inch round patties. Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet. They are ready to cook! *At this point you can freeze them in ziploc bags. Do not place them on top of each other unless you use parchment to separate them.To Make them:Add a small amount of oil to a skillet over medium heat. Add the burgers to the skillet. I like to flatten mine down to a 1/2 inch thickness as they are somewhat delicate to flip. This will cook a good part of the surface. Cook for approximately 4 minutes each side. Transfer to a baking sheet or your burger bun! Garnish: Add Homemade Ranch Dressing, fresh lettuce, red onion and tomatoe to a toasted brioche bun! Enjoy!
