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

Method
 

  1. Saute onion, garlic. Add in spices, and shimeji mushrooms. Saute until mushrooms are cooked and add into the food processor.
  2. 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.
  3. Marinade. In a medium bowl add all marinade ingredients and carrot. Marinate for 30 minutes or more if you have time.
  4. Sauce. Mix all the ingredients and chill in the fridge until you fry the patties.
  5. 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.
  6. Assemble the burgers in buns with lettuce, sauce, and top with diced red onion and marinated carrot on top.
