Homemade groene burger op ciabattabrood

Recipes

Saying that burgers can only be made from meat is, of course, complete nonsense. A good hamburger is delicious, but have you ever tried making burgers from chickpeas, for example? Also super tasty! When I saw this little recipe on ZTRDG, I immediately knew I wanted to share it with you. It's something a bit different: a well-filled, spiced burger on tasty bread, finished with ketchup. And coriander for a herby twist. Make these burgers when you're craving a special lunch, or cook them on the BBQ. Perfect for a summer evening!

Green burger on ciabatta bread

Peel the potato and cut into small cubes. Cook together with the fava beans in salted water for about 5 min until tender. Drain and set aside.
Heat oil in a frying pan, finely chop the shallot and garlic and sauté them briefly with the cumin powder, then add the spinach and let it wilt briefly.
Take a cutting board, place the potato, fava beans and the spinach mixture on it. Chop the mixture finely with a cleaver.
Make a well in the center, add the egg and the breadcrumbs and knead into a sticky mixture. Taste and add more salt if needed.
Form 4 burgers and fry them until browned in a frying pan over medium heat.
Toast the bread, top with lettuce, the burgers, ketchup and coriander.

Got leftovers? Store the cooked burgers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat them the next day in a frying pan. You can also freeze the burgers before frying them, so you always have a quick meal on hand.
