Lettuce Burger

A great way to cut down on bread and still enjoy a burger 🙂. I have made this simple Chickpea and Quinoa Burger. However, you can make patties of your choice or whatever ingredients you have at home, after all, it is about being creative in your kitchen and avoiding food wastage.

Seasoning (Salt, Pepper, Lemon Juice, Cilantro and Chili Flakes for extra spice)

Recipe :

• Patty: Mix chickpeas, quinoa, crack open an egg, bread crumbs, green chilies, chopped onion and all seasoning well in a big bowl, mashing the chickpeas. Make patties of your desired shape and size. Shallow fry until golden brown.
