Chickpea Walnut Burgers

1 (19-ounce) can chickpeas
2 garlic cloves
1/2 medium onion
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leafed parsley
1/2 cup fine fresh bread crumbs
3/4 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
1 large egg (will a substitute work? I hope..)
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 sesame buns
4 slices beefsteak tomato
4 slices red onion
In a colander rinse and drain chickpeas. In a food processor pulse garlic, onion, and rosemary until chopped coarse. Add chickpeas, parsley, and bread crumbs and pulse until just combined. Transfer mixture to a bowl and stir in walnuts, egg, and salt and pepper, to taste, until well combined. Form mixture into four 3-inch patties. Chill patties, covered, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
In a large cast iron skillet heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook patties until golden brown, about 4 minutes on each side. Toast sesame buns. Transfer burgers to buns and top with tomato and onion.



My younger sister loves veggie burgers but I hate that she always eats the frozen pre packaged ones. I saw this recipe on Food Network and it looked pretty tasty.

I'll try it tonight and let you all know how it goes.
