Bean burger

A couple nights ago Adam and I looked at each other at 6pm and said, 'what's for dinner?' I found a recipe, changed it a bit, and we loved them so much we're ready to make them again... today!
 
Serves 3
  • 1 1/4 cup garbanzo beans
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (thinly sliced)
  • 1 shallot
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons EVOO
  • Salt and pepper
  • Bread crumbs (whole wheat)
  • 1 egg 
  1. Thinly slice the shallot and sautée in the olive oil for two or three minutes.
  2. Thinly slice the garlic and sautée with the shallot for about a minute.
  3. Add spinach and sun-dried tomatoes and cook until the spinach is wilted, about two or three minutes.
  4. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Mash the cooked garbanzo beans and add the sautéed spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. 
  6. Whisk the egg and lay out the bread crumbs.
  7. Assemble 3 patties, dip in egg mixture, then bread crumbs.
  8. Pan fry until golden brown, about four or five minutes on each side. 
So, that's the patty. We enjoyed it with lettuce (from our garden, yes!), tomatoes, goat cheese, avocado, and the leftover garbanzo beans.
