Chickpea Blackbean BBQ Burgers

Summer lovin' and mojito in hand, I was recently confronted with a BBQ challenge.  I needed a vegetarian-friendly, gluten free flavour-packed burger to satisfy the masses.  After a few rounds of trial and error, a taste-bud happy recipe emerged - one which I am happy to share with my readers:

Makes:       10 burgers
Prep Time:  20 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes

Combine the following ingredients into a food processor or blender:

1 red pepper

6 large mushrooms

½ onion

½ cup cilantro

6 cloves chopped garlic

1 egg

1 can blackbeans

1 can chickpeas

1 cup cooked brown rice

1 1/2 packet taco seasoning

4 tbsp tamari sauce

1 tbsp onion powder

2 tbsp paprika

1.5 tbsp celery seed

1.5 tsp cayenne pepper

Hand mix the following into the above bean mixture:

5 tbsp corn starch

1/3 cup gluten free rolled oat flour

Dressings:

Sliced avocado

Salsa

BBQ sauce

Spinach

When putting burgers onto the barbeque, line with tinfoil to avoid burgers from losing their shape.  Grill at medium heat until underside is golden brown. Flip over to grill until other side is golden brown.

Happy BBQ-ing
