Yield 4 burgers, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 teaspoons sesame seeds
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon pure chile powder
1 1/2 cups canned garbanzo beans or 1 1/2 cups canned chickpeas, 15 1/2-oz can drained
1 cup cooked brown rice or 1 cup cooked white rice
1/3 cup wheat germ
2 teaspoons canola oil
4 scallions, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/3 cup wheat germ
4 pita breads or 4 hamburger buns
4 slices tomatoes (optional)
4 lettuce leaves (optional) or 4 spinach leaves (optional)

Steps:

  • TOAST SEEDS AND SPICES:.
  • Toast the sesame seeds for 2 minutes in a hot skillet, taking care not to burn them.
  • Add the coriander, cumin, and chile powder and cook for 10 seconds longer, so that all spices are aromatic. Turn onto a plate to cool.
  • PREPARE BEAN MIXTURE:.
  • In a large bowl, mash the beans with a potato masher or fork, then add the rice and 1/3 cup wheat germ.
  • PREPARE SCALLIONS AND GARLIC:.
  • In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium heat, and add the scallions, garlic, and toasted spices.
  • Cook until softened, then remove from heat and add to the mashed bean mixture.
  • PREPARE BURGERS:.
  • Add salt and pepper to the mashed bean mixture, and mix well with hands.
  • Shape into four 3/4-inch thick patties.
  • Pour remaining 1/3 cup wheat germ on a plate, and press patties in it, coating both sides.
  • Grill, broil, or saute patties for about 3 minutes per side, or until nicely golden.
  • Serve burgers on pita breads, or buns, topped with tomato slices and lettuce or spinach leaves.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my burgers turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.
