Sriracha Veggie Burger

This Sriracha Veggie Burger is a vibrant and spicy twist on the classic burger, made with a flavorful blend of Thai-inspired ingredients. Packed with veggies and a kick of heat, it's perfect for a satisfying meal that's both delicious and nutritious.

Ingredients

• Chickpeas - 200 grams, cooked
• Carrot - 1 medium, grated
• Red bell pepper - 1, finely chopped
• Green onion - 2, sliced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh cilantro - 30 grams, chopped
• Sriracha sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Oats - 50 grams, ground
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons (for cooking)
• Burger buns - 2, whole grain
• Lettuce - 2 leaves
• Sliced tomato - 1, for topping

Steps

1. In a large bowl, mash the cooked chickpeas with a fork or a potato masher until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky.
2. Add the grated carrot, chopped red bell pepper, sliced green onion, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, ground oats, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the mashed chickpeas. Mix well until combined.
3. Form the mixture into two patties, ensuring they hold together well.
4. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
5. While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns in a separate pan or toaster until lightly browned.
6. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the veggie patty, and topping with sliced tomato. Optionally, drizzle more Sriracha on top before closing the burger with the top half of the bun.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
