VEGAN CHICKPEA BURGER — Recipe Courtesy of Janna of Nourish Cooking Co.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup canned chickpeas (look for a BPA free can)
• 1/4 cup ground flaxseed meal add more if the mixture is too wet.
• 1/2 lemon, juiced.
• 1 tsp thyme
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 onion coarsely chopped.
• 1/2 handful cilantro (about 1/2 cup) (or sub for your favorite fresh herb)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a food processor, add your chickpeas, garlic, onions, cayenne pepper (for
some spice), lemon, thyme, cilantro (optional), sea salt & black pepper.

3. Remove chickpea mixture from the food processor into a mixing bowl. Add
ground flaxseed meal and mix well.
