I had to make these burgers. In fact, they were begging to be made. Since making my sweet potato falafel burgers I’ve discovered how much I LOVE chickpea flour. It does so much for a veggie burger, both in terms of flavor and texture. One of the challenges with veggie burgers, and especially vegan veggie burgers, is getting them to hold together, and while I’ve gotten all kinds of combinations of flax seeds and wheat flour to work, chickpea flour has one thing they don’t: it’s actually delicious. It’ll make your burgers super savory. You’ll love it. I repeated a theme with the sauce too, that them being tahini. One of the things I love about tahini is that you can get all different types of flavors out of it depending on what you mix it with. I discovered a while back that if you give it some spice, along with salt and sour flavors, it tastes a bit like cheese. I probably wouldn’t normally put drippy cheese on my Indian food, but it totally worked here, I promise. I was going go all lazy and just slather some Vegenaise on my burger, when tahini inspiration hit, and it turned out awesome. I cooked my burgers indoors on the stove, but I’m betting these would work out great on the grill, particularly given the fact that they don’t fall apart like lots of veggie burgers do. Nothing makes me sadder than seeing a beautifully sculped quinoa burger crumble into grill flames (they’re delicious but delicate!). These burgers seem like they’d stand up pretty well to the grill. However you cook them, I’m sure they will make you happy.
