Tonight my vegetarian friend Hanna is coming over for dinner, so I decided to make a variant of the classic hamburger, the chickpea burger. It takes less than 30 minutes to make; I’m using canned chickpeas, but you can also use dried chickpeas, as long as you soak them for at least 10-12 hours.
So, put the chickpeas in a food processor… then cut the shallot. This recipe is great not only for vegetarians, but also to get your kids to eat legumes, since they’re usually a little bit reluctant. Roughly cut the garlic, too… then add: 2 eggs… 2 teaspoons of mustard… and some grated ginger. Now take the sandwich bread… a couple of slices, and break it with your hands, as it will be processed. For this recipe you can use chickpeas, as well as any other legume. Add salt and pepper… and process for a few seconds… it’s enough. Now take a bowl… and half of the mixture, 3 spoonfuls; keep aside this coarse, grainy mixture, since we’ll need it to make the patties firmer. Process the remaining mixture until even consistency… perfect. As you can see, now it’s ready… so we can blend the 2 mixtures together. In this case, I’m using canned chickpeas, so I’ll add a couple of tablespoons of breadcrumbs, because canned chickpeas are a bit watery and the addition of breadcrumbs will absorb the moisture. Stir well, to blend the breadcrumbs into the mixture… taste to see if it’s salty enough… yes it is! Now… if you want the traditional stripes on the patty, use a grill pan like this, otherwise you can use any other pan; put it on the heat… until very hot, meanwhile we’ll shape the patties. Here we are. This recipe makes about 8 patties, or 6, it depends on how thick you want it to be. Take a spoonful of dough and make them as evenly shaped as possible… that’s it. Now put it on the pan and go on. Look at the stripes!
Well, we can assemble our burger, first of all cut the buns in half. Be careful, don’t be taken in by the fact that it’s a vegetarian recipe, because it’s not light at all, since legumes and chickpeas in particular are very high in calories. Spread the mayonnaise, of course you can use any sauce or dressing you like, I prefer it to be simple, so I’ll add the mayonnaise, the salad, the patty and the tomato… and voilà. Just in time… buon appetito!
For 8 burgers:
• 2 ½ cups (500 g) of chickpeas
• 1 shallot
• 1 clove of garlic
• 1 tsp of fresh grated ginger
• 2 medium eggs
• 2 tsp of mustard
• 2 bread slices
• salt to taste For serving:
• 8 medium burger buns
• salad to taste
• tomatoes
• mayonnaise

Vegan Recipe Author Ellen Jaffe Jones Shares Her Vegetarian Health Story

http://vegcoach.com – Eat Vegan On $4 A Day author Ellen Jaffe Jones gives her story as to why she went vegetarian, then vegan. It began as way to improve her health as she witnessed most of her family suffering from a number of diseases, including cancer. At one point she went off her plant-based diet, only discover her own health deteriorate to the point of landing in the emergency room. Yet, when she went back to eating plants, her health regained. She also explains where her protein comes from, and what she does about vitamin B12. She concludes the video with why she wrote her book: because she watched on TV a welfare recipient explain that welfare money was not enough money to eat healthfully. Eat Vegan On $4 A Day shatters that myth by showing us how we can buy whole plant foods from the produce section as well as beans and grains in the bulk section of our grocery stores and that when we cook this food from scratch, we can most certainly afford to eat healthy while on a budget.

Ellen Jaffe Jones is “THE VEG COACH.” She is a personal trainer, running coach, author, and teaches healthy cooking classes designed by respected doctors and registered dieticians.
