Chickpea Veggie Burger

Ingredients:

1-1/2 cup chickpeas
6 ounces porcini mushrooms, chopped
1 small red bell pepper, diced
1 kale leaf
halloumi cheese, cut into thick slices
1 flax egg
1/4 cup panko
2 tablespoons chickpea flour
4 teaspoons oil
1 teaspoon cumin
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper
burger buns

Heat some oil in a frying pan. Add half the chickpeas, one clove minced garlic, and salt and pepper. Stir fry until they are golden. Set aside and add mushrooms to the pan with some oil. Cook until browned.

Combine remaining garbanzo beans and mushrooms in a food processor and pulse until a smooth paste forms. Transfer to a bowl and stir in chickpeas, egg, panko, chickpea flour, garlic, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper. Form into thick patties.

Heat some oil in a pan and cook patties on each side until golden brown. Grill the cheese on both sides until golden brown.

Meanwhile, remove kale from stems and toss with olive oil and a pinch of salt.

Assemble patties on buns. Top with the halloumi and kale.
