Chickpea and Peanut Burger

Ingredients:

1 cup peanuts

1 cup chickpeas

1/2 cup rolled oats

1 large sweet potato

1 cup frozen spinach

Cilantro, large handful

1 tbsp  ginger-garlic, paste or grated

chili paste/sauce, to taste

salt, to taste

Soak the chickpeas overnight and cook till soft.

Roast the peanuts to light brown, not too much.

Cook the sweet potato until soft, peel the skin and coarsely mash.

Thaw the frozen spinach and squeeze out the water.

Add all the ingredients to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until well combined. 

Adjust seasonings.

If mixture is too wet, add flaxseed meal as needed to thicken.

Let it rest for about 30 minutes.

Form into patties and cook on a castiron pan or grill until brown on both sides.

Let it sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Enjoy with your favorite sauce on the side!

NOTES:

- Adapt the recipe to your taste and pantry by using different veggies and spices.

- Makes a hearty meal without the burger bun with a nice side salad.
