Ingredients:
For the Burgers (makes about 12):
1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa, cooled slightly
1 can drained and rinsed chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 cup firm tofu, crumbled or processed into “ground beef” texture
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
For the Buns (makes 12):
1 package active dry yeast
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup warm water (about 100°F / 38°C)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
For the buns:
1. Dissolve the yeast: In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
2. Create the sponge: Add the flour and salt to the yeast mixture and stir well to combine. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
3. Knead the dough: Once the dough has risen, add the olive oil and continue to mix until a smooth and elastic dough forms.
4. Form the buns: Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball. Place the balls onto a greased baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and allow to rest for another 30 minutes.
5. Proof the buns: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the dough and roll out each portion into a thin circle. Brush the tops with melted butter or olive oil. Place the buns on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
6. While the buns are proofing, prepare the burgers: Mix all the ingredients for the burger patties together well. Using wet hands, form the mixture into 12 evenly sized patties. Heat a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the burgers for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.
7. Assemble the burgers: Split the buns and layer with desired toppings such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and any additional sauces or condiments. Serve immediately.
Serving Size: Makes approximately 12 burgers and serves 6 people.
