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!
