Chickpea and Spinach Burger

Since he can not have anything ready made or frozen food, I have to make it fresh everything. Generally for burgers I use morningstar products which is easily available in supermarkets here and kids love that too. Before his illness that way easy way for all of us now not for him but rest of us still enjoy ready made. So we three had readymade and made this for him. Its really easy when I was done making it. Whip everything in blender, make pattice and cook it, enjoy with burger bread or sandwich , choice is yours. I used black beans too, you can use just black beans and make it too. I already boiled and froze beans so just have to throw it and use it in dishes whenever I wanted , but you can use tin too.

Ingredients :

1 cup boiled chickpeas
1/4 cup black beans
2 cups baby spinach
1/4 cup chopped onion
3 cloves of garlic
Lime juice and salt as per taste
1 brown bread or  1/3 cup panko bread crumbs
1/3 cup Mozzarella cheese
Few leaves of cilantro


For burger / sandwich toppings

Grilled vegetables - green and red capscicum, onions, spinach, mayo

Method:

Put beans, spinach, onion, garlic, bread, cilantro in blender and make  a paste, it's upto you how puree or little bit of whole pieces you want.
Take it out add salt, lime juice and cheese.
Make burger size patties.





If you have time, put it in fridge for 30 minutes so it's nice and firm.
Take it out and shallow fry it in pan, till its nice and brown on both sides.



Take your bread, assemble is as you like. For him , just use little bit of mayo, grilled vegetables and burger.






Enjoy your delicious, quick, healthy homemade burger at home.
