Recipe courtesy of Florida Department of Citrus
Ingredients
- 1 Cup cooked chick peas
- 1 Cup panko breadcrumbs, divided
- 1 Cup chopped parsley
- 1 Cup chopped cilantro
- ¼ Cup chopped chives
- 1 yellow onion, finely diced
- ½ Cup orange juice
- 4 Tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper
Directions
Place chick peas in food processor; cover and pulse 2 to 3 times. Transfer to mixing bowl; add ½ cup breadcrumbs, parsley, cilantro, chives, onion, orange juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil and eggs. Mix well; season with salt and pepper. Form mixture into golf ball-sized balls. If too wet, add more breadcrumbs. If too dry, add more orange juice. Flatten balls slightly. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Cook each burger for 6 to 8 minutes per side. Adjust heat if necessary so burgers do not burn.
