Veggie burger with chickpeas {vegan}
Ce petit veggie burger, c’est un peu l’histoire du hasard… ce jour là j’avais envie d’un burger végétarien, alors je suis partie sur une base de pois-chiches, un peu dans l’esprit des falafel (enfin légèrement différents car les pois-chiches sont cuits !) et puis, il y avait ce bloc de tofu fumé dans le frigo, et hop il a fini dans la préparation du burger. Ajoutez à ça un peu de farine de pois-chiches pour lier le tout et hop, voilà une petite recette vite fait bien fait pour les gourmands ! Ajoutez à cela un bon bun à burger, of guacamole maison et de la roquette : you get a vegan burger that has nothing to be ashamed of compared to meat burgers. Anyway, Monsieur asks me to make it often at home… and I don't refuse, it's so regressive to eat with your fingers !
And then as is the fashion at the moment, you can always keep your chickpea juice to make egg whites !
- 4 burger buns
- Homemade guacamole
- 1 small bouquet of arugula
- FOR THE VEGGIE STEAKS
- 180 g cooked chickpeas
- 140 g smoked tofu
- 40 g chickpea flour
- Salt and pepper
- 1 drizzle of olive oil
- To make veggie steaks, mash the cooked chickpeas and smoked tofu using a potato masher. Then add the flour then season.
- Shape the steaks then cook them in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil 4 minutes on each side.
- Heat the buns cut in half in the oven 5 minutes at 200°.
- Assemble the burgers starting with the arugula, the steak and finishing with the guacamole.
- Taste without delay.

17.3.15I totally love this burger ! And the chickpea steaks, awesome !
And that then, chickpea juice which serves as a binder ?? It's very true, it doesn't give too strong a taste ??
Thank you for this recipe, and have a nice evening

Emilie
18.3.15Thank you Lili ! Yes, chickpea juice rises like egg whites from what I’ve seen, it’s amazing, for the taste I haven't tasted it but apparently it's not too pronounced !

17.3.15Hello ! This looks delicious but my husband is allergic to soy 🙁 What can I replace tofu with? ? Merci
Emilie
18.3.15So you can replace it with sautéed seitan dice for example., and I think you will need less chickpea flour

17.3.15Yum, It looks so good! Me who was just looking for an excuse to open a can of chickpeas to keep the juice, but who was tired of falafel (two batches last week)… And what’s more, I have smoked tofu in the fridge :)
Emilie
18.3.15Ah cool, perfect you have everything !!! you will tell me about it then !
Dirk Kriek
27.3.15Wow that looks delicious!
Emilie
14.4.15Thank you very much!
Oceane
2.3.16Tested and validated ! Just a little too floury for me, but I think it's because I used fresh chickpeas (which I perhaps didn't cook long enough anyway) so my chickpea mixture – tofu was already very “dry”, there was perhaps no need for 40g of flour.. I keep the recipe carefully because the taste is there. !! Thank you for this blog and these very beautiful photos. !
Emilie
24.3.16Thank you Océane, It’s true that you should limit your chickpeas to overcooking if they are fresh. !
Thanks to you 😉
