INGREDIENTS
  

Burgers

  • 1 ½ cup shimeji mushrooms, chopped
  • 1 medium garlic clove
  • ½ brown onion
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 2 cups chickpeas, canned
  • 1 tablespoon greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon red curry paste
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 large egg, or 1 flax seed egg for vegan

For Serving

  • 4 Brioche or similar burger buns for serving, gluten free if desired
  • ½ red onion, diced
  • Cheese for serving, if using
  • Lettuce
  • Lemon wedges

Carrot Marinade

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce, I used gluten free or coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, or other sweetener
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2-3 carrots, cut thin or julienned

Tahini Yogurt Sauce

  • 2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • 3 tablespoon greek yogurt or sour cream
  • ½ teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey, or maple syrup
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed or more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Saute onion, garlic. Add in spices, and shimeji mushrooms. Saute until mushrooms are cooked and add into the food processor.
  • Follow with chickpeas, cilantro, yogurt, salt and pepper. Mix on low until all combined and chickpeas are broken down into a smooth texture. Make sure not to pulse until it’s super smooth, it should look a little chunky. Take about 2 ½ tablespoons of chickpea mixture and roll into 4 balls. Flatten them slightly and set aside.
  • Marinade. In a medium bowl add all marinade ingredients and carrot. Marinate for 30 minutes or more if you have time.
  • Sauce. Mix all the ingredients and chill in the fridge until you fry the patties.
  • Meanwhile, in a nonstick pan, heat up cooking oil (about 2 inches of oil for more ‘’fried’’ effect) over medium heat and cook the patties for 5 minutes on each side or until crispy golden brown on top and bottom.
  • Assemble the burgers in buns with lettuce, sauce, and top with diced red onion and marinated carrot on top.
