- Spatula
- Baking sheet
Ingredients
- 2 cups Taro peeled and grated
- 1 can 15 oz Chickpeas, drained
- 1 medium Red onion finely diced
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- For frying Olive oil
- 4 Whole wheat buns
- 4 large Lettuce leaves
- 8 Tomato slices
- 1 large Avocado sliced
Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare the Taro Mixture
- Ingredients prep: Combine taro, chickpeas, red onion, garlic, cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper in a food processor.
- Process until smooth: Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still has some texture.
- Form patties: Shape the mixture into four even patties and place them on a baking sheet.
- Note: If the mixture is too wet, add a bit of breadcrumbs to help bind the patties.
Step 2 – Cook the Patties
- Heat the oil: In a frying pan, heat a generous amount of olive oil over medium heat.
- Cook the patties: Place the patties in the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy.
- Warning: Keep an eye on the heat; taro can burn quickly due to its sugar content.
Step 3 – Assemble the Burgers
- Toast the buns: Lightly toast the whole wheat buns on a griddle.
- Build your burger: Start with a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, add the taro patty, then top with tomato, avocado slices, and the top bun.
Notes
- Make it spicy: Add a teaspoon of chili flakes to the patty mix if you like a bit more heat.
- Storage: You can refrigerate the uncooked patties for up to two days or freeze them for longer storage.
