Thai Green Curry Burger

The Thai Green Curry Burger is a vibrant, plant-based delight that brings the essence of Thai cuisine to your plate with its aromatic flavors and fresh ingredients. This burger features a zesty green curry patty, topped with crunchy veggies and a creamy coconut sauce, all nestled in a soft bun.

Ingredients

• Chickpeas - 200 grams, drained and rinsed
• Fresh cilantro - 30 grams, chopped
• Green curry paste - 2 tablespoons
• Coconut flour - 30 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 tablespoon, grated
• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon (for frying)
• Whole wheat burger buns - 2
• Cucumber - 1/2, sliced
• Carrot - 1 small, grated
• Red onion - 1/4, thinly sliced
• Coconut yogurt - 4 tablespoons (for sauce)
• Sriracha - 1 teaspoon (optional, for spice)

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
2. Add chopped cilantro, green curry paste, coconut flour, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the mashed chickpeas. Mix until well combined.
3. Form the mixture into two patties, about 1.5 cm thick.
4. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
5. While the patties are cooking, prepare the toppings: slice the cucumber, grate the carrot, and thinly slice the red onion.
6. To make the sauce, mix coconut yogurt with Sriracha (if using) in a small bowl.
7. Once the patties are cooked, assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a burger bun and topping with cucumber, grated carrot, red onion, and a generous dollop of the coconut yogurt sauce.
8. Serve immediately with additional lime wedges on the side.
