Hamburger di Fave is a deliciously unique Italian burger made from fava beans, offering a hearty and flavorful alternative to traditional meat burgers. This dairy-free delight is perfect for a light yet satisfying meal, showcasing the vibrant flavors of Italy.

Ingredients

• Fava beans (cooked, peeled) - 200 grams
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Chickpea flour - 3 tablespoons
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Whole grain burger buns - 2
• Tomato - 1, sliced

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked fava beans using a fork or potato masher until smooth but slightly chunky.
2. Add minced garlic, chopped parsley, olive oil, chickpea flour, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the mashed fava beans. Mix until well combined.
3. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties, about 1.5 cm thick.
