Ingredients
  • 1 15 oz can chickpeas
  • 
1/2 c red onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • ¾ c green pepper, chopped
  • ½ c corn
  • 1 c mushrooms, sliced
  • 
1 c fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 c breadcrumbs (I used panko, but whole wheat is fine as well)
  • ¼ c chipotles in adobo
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 2 T soy sauce
  • 2 t red wine vinegar
  • 2 t smoked paprika
  • 
1/4 t salt
  • cooking spray
  • buns, pitas or english muffins
Instructions
  1. Heat oil in medium saute pan.  Add onion, garlic, pepper, mushrooms and parsley and saute about 10 minutes or until vegetables are cooked.
  2. While vegetables are cooking.  Add the following to the food processor: chickpeas, ½ cup of the breadcrumbs, chipotles, soy sauce, vinegar, smoked paprika and salt.  When vegetables are done, transfer to the food processor.  (Just wipe the pan clean with a paper towel.  We’ll use it again to cook the burgers).  Blend ingredients until mixed, but not completely smooth.
  3. Empty mixture into a bowl. Add corn and remaining breadcrumbs and stir to combine.  Check seasoning and add salt if necessary.  Form into 5 patties about ¾ inch thick and 4 inches across.  Lightly coat the same saute pan you used for the vegetables with cooking spray. When pan is hot, add patties, cooking about 7 minutes on each side or until browned.
  4. Serve immediately on a roll or pita bread with ketchup and mayo (vegan for me).  These patties also freeze beautifully and will be great for a quick lunch or dinner when you’re short on time.
