ingredients

  • 1 (28-oz) can chickpeas, drained
  • 1 small red onion
  • 2 teaspoons matcha powder
  • 3 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 small zucchini
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped coriander
  • 4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, divided
  • 1/4 cup oats
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • a pinch of salt
  • coconut oil (optional)
  • 8 pitted dates
  • 1 thai chili
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 garlic clove
  • The juice of ½ lime
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Multigrain buns, fresh tomato slices, mashed avocado, baby spinach, spicy mustard, finely chopped red cabbage, fresh alfalfa sprouts for serving (optional)

Method

  • Step 1

    Place the drained chickpeas in a large bowl and crush them with a potato stirrer. Grate the zucchinis, cut the onion and place both in the bowl together with matcha, peanut butter, cumin, garlic powder, turmeric, pepper, coriander, 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, oats, and soy sauce. Mix all the ingredients well with your hands and then shape 6-8 burger patties. Either fry them for 2-3 minutes on both sides in coconut oil or bake at 350F for about 20 minutes.

  • Step 2

    For the sauce, pour dates, chili, water, garlic cloves, lime juice, remaining 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, and salt into a high-speed mixer and process until a thick liquid sauce is formed. Leftover sauce can be kept in the refrigerator.

  • Step 3

    Serve the burger patties with fresh tomato slices, mashed avocado, baby spinach, spicy mustard, finely chopped red cabbage, fresh alfalfa sprouts and the homemade chilli sauce on a full grain bread roll. Add other ingredients of your choice to your burger and enjoy warm!
